The SEMICONDUCTOR-X project team met for two intense and highly productive days in Garching near Munich and, as always, it was a lively discussion about current activities and progress on the project, as well as the next steps.
Day 1 highlights:
🔐 Deep dive into E2E Security in dedicated breakout sessions
📊 Project status & key archivements – strong momentum across all workstreams
🏭 Impressive demonstrator presentations showcasing tangible progress and real-world impact
🌍 Updates on international collaborations, strategic alignment and long-term sustainability
Day 2 focus:
📋 Final reporting planning – as we enter the last phase of the project
🧩 Alignment on SEMICONDUCTOR-X KITs – ensuring structured, reusable outcomes for the Manufacturing-X and #TractusX ecosystem
⚙️ Insights into first use case implementations – from testbeds to industry applications
🔐 Consolidated E2E Security results
🔭 Outlook on continuation within Catena-X, Manufacturing-X & Industrie 4.0 initiatives
🔎 Key takeaway:
SEMICONDUCTOR-X is now officially entering its final phase towards September 2026. The focus is shifting from development to:
👉 Consolidation of results
👉 Transfer into scalable assets (KITs, platforms, standards)
👉 Sustainable continuation in broader ecosystems
The energy, alignment, and tangible progress across partners show a shared commitment:
We are not just closing a project – we are laying the foundation for the next phase of industrial data ecosystems in the semiconductor domain.
A big thank you to Siemens for the hosting and to all partners for the strong collaboration and your engagement!
