Join PIXEurope Connect – Industry Ecosystem Building Day, taking place on 21 May 2026 in Barcelona.

Organized within the framework of the PIXEurope Pilot Line – coordinated by ICFO and co-funded by the Chips Joint Undertaking and participating Member States, with support from regional authorities – this event will be the first to bring together end-users, technology providers, industry leaders and policymakers around this Pan-European initiative.

The event will highlight the value of the PIXEurope infrastructure and its role in strengthening Europe’s integrated photonics ecosystem. Through presentations and collaborative sessions, participants will explore how the Pilot Line can accelerate the adoption of integrated photonic chips, reinforcing Europe’s technological sovereignty and fostering new industrial and scientific opportunities.

The venue of the event will be Torre Glòries, one of Barcelona’s most iconic landmarks. Located at the entrance to the 22@ innovation district – an ideal setting for PIXEurope’s mission to bridge the gap between research and industrial readiness in advanced photonic integrated circuits.
