Semiconductor start-ups are invited to apply for the Chips Venture Forum Selection, taking place in Bordeaux on 21–22 October 2026. The event will connect promising European innovators with investors, corporate partners, semiconductor end-users and representatives of key European institutions.
The opportunity is open to semiconductor-related start-ups that are established or legally registered in a country hosting an operational Competence Centre within the European network, as well as to beneficiaries of the European Innovation Council.
