[Pixeurope-ga] PIXEurope Inputs needed for Chips Act 2

[Valerio Pruneri]

Hi All
I share a table summarising your contributions: 04. Chips Act 2 Meeting EC_March 2026<https://icfo.sharepoint.com/:f:/r/sites/PIXEurope/Shared%20Documents/General/02.%20MEETINGS/04.%20Chips%20Act%202%20Meeting%20EC_March%202026?csf=1&web=1&e=f18mxk>

I would need the following input:

  *   Those of you have replied, please check the table and see if it summarises well your inputs. In addition please add potential industry collaboration is the last column
  *   Those of you (6 partners) who have not replied, please do so y filling in the table.
I am aware that some may give input directly to the Resolve Initiative led by CEA-LETI, IMEC and Fraunhofer. However we are also asked to provide inputs as PIXEurope.

We need these inputs by Tuesday March 17 for structuring some slides to present to the Commission  by end of the month.

Thanks!
Valerio

Dear All

Contribution requested by March 4th, 2026.

Today I am writing to collect inputs for the ChipsAct 2.

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.

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.

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.

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. And so on for each of the different area/topic box....

We will then collect your inputs and map them to provide our Pilot Line technical contribution to the Commission.

If something is not clear, please reach me out, rather than writing messages that might create noise.

I would need your inputs by next Wednesday March 4. Please not later, otherwise I cannot make sure it is included in these first inputs.

Thanks,
Valerio
