At the 7th Industry Workshop of the Chiplet Center of Excellence (CCoE) in Dresden, industry partners exchanged insights on the latest advancements and emerging applications of chiplet technologies. The focus was on the collaborative development of modular, scalable systems, with the clear goal of accelerating the transfer of innovative approaches into industrial practice.

In early March at the Dresden site, we offered insights into our work within the APECS pilot line – a European platform intended to accelerate the transfer of innovations from the world of research into industrial applications. A visit by high-ranking European representatives highlighted the importance of collaboration, new approaches and practical developments for the future of microelectronics.

We help our customers and partners master their challenges in a practical, customized fashion using various AI approaches. Our solutions are tailored particularly to use cases in which permanent data sovereignty, data protection and high processing speed are vitally important, as well as the traceability of the processes by which the AI systems arrive at their results.

So that smaller systems providers can shoulder the growing development and manufacturing costs for next-generation electronics, a Fraunhofer consortium from Saxony has teamed up with GlobalFoundries to develop a "universal sensor platform" (USeP).

Many of the asymmetric and symmetric encryption methods currently used for the secure transmission of data and information are, in principle, vulnerable to attackers. Systems for the exchange of quantum keys allow a key of any length to be exchanged securely. In our work, we focus on furthering the development of the necessary nanoelectronic components.

Given that electronics are used in many safety-critical areas, such as autonomous driving or medicine, it is vital that users are able to trust them. Trusted electronics are electronics whose mode of operation is precisely understood – regardless of whether they were designed and manufactured in Germany or elsewhere.
