    Moving chip design into new spaces. For last 20 year the chip design flow has been for very few to high tools cost and closed access to chip technologies. 2 year ago Google released the first open source chip technology from a US fab and this has fostered a new generation for chip designers that work with open source tools and methodologies - has new skills within programming and computers and are used to share in an accelerated tech development environment. I build tools, flow and teams, connect people from industry, university and government - to accelerate this transformation.

    Speaker for following sessions
    • 14:30 - 15:45 Chip Design in Denmark
      Organized by DTU in collaboration with DIREC
       
      ”There is no digital without chips” statement by EU President Ursula von der Leyen presenting the EU’s Chips Act, as part of EU’s plan for “tech sovereignty. The Chips Act of EU and a similar act in US, are reactions to the declining share of semiconductor production, which today is mainly taking place in Asia. For decades, Denmark has been very active designing custom chips, activities which have been crucial for the business of many companies, and an activity which has often been overlooked in the bigger picture. Based on a short historical perspective, this session will present actual chip designs and tool developments for chip design.
