High-level representatives of the Federal Ministry of Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology and the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) informed about the national view and implementation of the European Chips Act.

Further excinting topics on the agenda were trends and challenges of Embedded Software in ESBS, the presentation of successful KDT projects as well as information about the latest activities of selected European partner organizations in Slovakia and Sweden. A status report on the Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) ME and insights into the recent Silicon Austria Labs (SAL) activities rounded up the programme.
