Kurt Herremans is program director automotive and giving a presentation on Driving European Semiconductor Leadership: A Chiplet-Based Approach for the Automotive Sector
To regain leadership in semiconductor architecture and strengthen its strategic autonomy, Europe must adopt a collaborative, systems-level approach akin to the Airbus model—especially in the fast-evolving automotive sector. As vehicles become increasingly defined by software and electronics, the demand for high-performance, energy-efficient, and scalable semiconductor solutions has never been greater. Chiplet-based design offers a modular and cost-effective pathway to meet these demands, enabling faster innovation cycles and architectural flexibility. Leveraging its ecosystem and advanced R&D capabilities, imec is poised to play a pivotal role in establishing a pan-European chiplet platform. Such an initiative would foster cross-border collaboration, accelerate the development of heterogeneous integration technologies, and position

about

At the IEEE World Technology Summit, innovators from industry and academia join forces to tackle technical challenges behind tomorrow’s competitive products and services. The IEEE World Technology Summits (WTS) connect industry with the IEEE to address the needs of organizations across sectors and regions. The primary focus is on Product and Service Engineering, where real value is created by identifying and adressing common pre-competitive technical challenges faced by engineering and management teams. Each Summit is shaped by industry leaders, who define the event’s scope, themes, and strategic priorities. The result is a highly relevant, practitioner-driven program centered on real-world challenges, success stories, and actionable insights. The strength of the WTS lies in its interactive dialogue—a forum for sharing experiences and solutions that benefit both industry professionals and researchers. WTS 2025 is organized in partnership with the IEEE Consumer Technology Society and is co-located with IEEE ICCE-Berlin 2025 and the IFA program in Berlin.
