<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Dear All<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US">Contribution requested by March 4<sup>th</sup>, 2026.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Today I am writing to collect inputs for the ChipsAct 2.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Here is some context: European Commission is requesting Pilot Lines to provide inputs on technologies to prioritize for the future. Those have been categorized into areas/topics as in the slide included at the end of
this email. With all inputs received from each of them, Pilot Lines will prepare a single document.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In order to prepare PIXEurope’s contribution, we need to collect from each of you, who are interested, information on technologies you believe are critical and plan or continue to work in your organization, starting from
2029.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">To make things simple, at this stage, I ask you – please - to send me and the people in copy, who are our Exploitation and Innovation, and Project Managers, a brief description of your activities classifying them in the
relevant areas below.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">E.g. ICFO plans to work on “New Computer Algorithms” that leverage photonics. More specifically, analog photonic computing combined with digital processors and memories to reduce the energy consumption of current digital
GPUs. In the longer term the technology can also be exploited for quantum computation, either using a full photonic schemes or hybrid atom-photon architecture.
<u>And so on for each of the different area/topic box….<o:p></o:p></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We will then collect your inputs and map them to provide our Pilot Line technical contribution to the Commission.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">If something is not clear, please reach me out, rather than writing messages that might create noise.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I would need your inputs <b>by next Wednesday March 4</b>.
<u>Please not later, otherwise I cannot make sure it is included in these first inputs.<o:p></o:p></u></span></p>
