6.6 Panel - The Future of Electronics, Semiconductor, and Design in Europe

Date: Wednesday 11 March 2015
Time: 11:00 - 12:30
Location / Room: Bayard

Organiser:
Marco Casale-Rossi, Synopsys, US

Chair:
Giovanni De Micheli, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), CH

For more than a decade, Europe has been the wireless continent; today, wireless has almost completely shifted to the U.S. and Asia. This shift has had a profound impact on the electronic, semiconductor, and design ecosystem: long-time leaders have disappeared, or have abandoned the wireless business/market. Europe needs to re-invent itself once again. Is there a future for electronics, and IC design and manufacturing in Europe? If so, what are the applications, and the technologies that will bring Europe back to the top of the world leadership? This panel session will gather executives from the semiconductor, IP, and R&D sectors to discuss the prospects of our industry in Europe.
