EFECS 2026
December 2 - December 3
Annual event organised by the Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU) in partnership with three major European industry associations AENEAS, EPoSS and INSIDE. EFECS is the premier European Forum for Electronic Components and Systems, dedicated to advancing the sector’s growth and innovation. Taking place in Helsinki, on 2-3 December 2026, this event brings together industry leaders, policymakers, researchers, and innovators to strengthen Europe’s strategic leadership in semiconductor technology.
In today’s rapidly evolving world, Europe must transform bold ideas and funded projects into impactful and ready-to-market solutions faster than ever before. To remain globally competitive, we need strong investments in cutting-edge research, digital infrastructure, and emerging technologies and applications.
Open to all public and private stakeholders, EFECS is a unique platform to share achievements, exchange insights, and gather valuable feedback. More than just a forum, EFECS showcases the strong collaboration between academia, industry, policymakers, innovators and participating states contributing to a long-term resilience and strategic autonomy across the EU.
By advancing our technological capabilities, nurturing a dynamic startup and scale-up ecosystem, enhancing key skills, and modernising regulatory frameworks, Europe can lead the next wave of global innovation.
