Ticket sales for PIC Summit Europe 2026 will open soon
PIC Summit Europe is the most influential event in the photonic chip industry. Taking place 3-4 November 2026 in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, PIC Summit Europe attracts the leading lights from across the photonic chip industry.
Photonic chips, also known as Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC), harnesses the power of light to create energy-efficient, faster, and more accurate microchips. These enable new applications, such as LiDAR, innovative networking solutions and all kinds of sensing solutions for agrifood, maintenance and medical challenges.
Imagine – two whole days dedicated to discussion, collaboration, and innovation with key international opinion leaders from across our thriving industry. The conference offers a rich programme – featuring keynotes from semicon executives, users of photonic chip technology, EU policymakers, and the wider photonic chip community to discuss the future of the global industry.
What to expect? The days at a glance:
- Day 1: Features a curated mix of keynote speakers and panel discussions on a range of topics such as policy making, the future of chip design and semicon.
- Day 2: Presents industry keynotes exploring the state of the art of applications using photonic chips and a host of side events on topics such as startup funding, talent attraction and more.
- Multiple side events & Tech Tour: PIC Summit Europe hosts multiple side events that will zoom in on current and pressing topics in the photonic chip industry such as talent attraction, startup funding, Quantum Photonics and roadmapping activities.
No other event unites end-users, academics, investors, and major players from across the photonics industry in the same way.
