Designing the future: Tackling design challenges through collaboration

November 6, 2025 | London, UK

A hands-on industry launch uniting chip designers, researchers, and engineers to tackle architecture, chiplet, and application challenges through collaborative innovation.

Imec

Prashant Dubey, Path Finding Researcher at imec Cambridge UK, will present Collaborative Ecosystem as a key enabler of AI Driven Wafer Scale Data-Centres Research during the session Addressing the Chiplet Challenge at 1:00 pm.

About

TechWorks DESN network aims to support the UK chip design industry by building communities of shared interest. This launch event will define new collaborative groups to address shared challenges and opportunities.

As chip complexity continues to accelerate, designers face growing challenges in architecture design, system scaling & integration and workflow. This hands-on event brings together chip architects, designers and engineers to explore real-world pain points and application trends, sharing lessons learned. The objective is to build ongoing collaboration supporting industry growth.

We will explore three contemporary themes during the event, with a plenary discussion following each one to discuss the topics raised and identify relevant actions and initiatives for DESN to curate going forward.
