Chips Think Tank#8: Rethinking Advanced Packaging for Strategic Markets

Advanced packaging is becoming a critical enabler for Europe's technological sovereignty, especially in strategic sectors such as aerospace and defence. Yet these markets face unique challenges: low production volumes, stringent reliability requirements, and complex pathways from research to industrial deployment.

In this edition of the Chips Think Tank, participants will gain first-hand insights into how advanced packaging technologies can be successfully adopted beyond high-volume commercial applications. The discussion will explore how European stakeholders can bridge the gap between innovation and manufacturing, strengthen domestic capabilities, and support the development of resilient semiconductor value chains.

Hosted within the framework of the aCCCess project, the webinar will feature Wilfrid Aklamavo, CTO of SERMA Microelectronics, in conversation with Régis Hamelin, CTO of Blumorpho and aCCCess Coordinator. Together, they will share practical perspectives on advanced packaging, industrialisation challenges, and opportunities for strategic European applications.
