About the event

DTU Chip Day 2026

The day

Over 150 attendees from industry, academia, and government gathered at DTU Lyngby for a half-day of talks, exhibition stands, and networking. The program spanned education in Denmark, technical presentations from industry, and a closing keynote on opportunities for Danish chip design.

Slides & consent

Each speaker chose individually whether to publish their deck. Published slides are PDFs with clear speaker and affiliation attribution. The default for unresponsive or declined speakers is private — their material stays internal to the event.

Organisers

Chip Day 2026 was organised by a small team from DTU Compute, DTU Electro, IC Works, GN, and Demant, with logistic support from the DTU Conference Office and sponsorship from the Danish chip design community.
