On September 25, CITC will organize its first Innovation Day. During the event we want to highlight our current technical and scientific work in semiconductor and photonics packaging.

Together with you, we want to drive further innovative collaborative work to achieve breakthrough solutions for competitive and sustainable advanced packaging. All this to address our current and future societal challenges.

We can already reveal that keynote presentations will be given by representatives of CITC’s founding fathers: TU Delft and TNO. On behalf of TU Delft, professor Kouchi Zhang will talk about the final results of Pack4EU which unites the European semiconductor packaging industry with a common roadmap. Jaap Lombaers from TNO will talk about the power of collaboration.

CITC’s program managers will then update you on the latest developments in their field:

• Francesca Chiappini – RF and mmWave Chip Packaging
• Sander Dorrestein – Integrated Photonics Packaging
• Mark Luke Farrugia – Additive Packaging Manufacturing including Competitive Sustainable Advanced Packaging
• Edsger Smits – Power Packaging

Speakers from TU Delft and TNO will make up the final round of pitches.
