About Chips Venture Forum 2026

The 2026 edition of the Chips Venture Forum will introduce an enhanced format designed to maximize interactions with investors and increase visibility across the semiconductor ecosystem.

The deadline for startup application is 12 May 2026.

Then the Chips Venture Forum will now unfold in two complementary stages:

1. Chips Venture Forum Selection at INPHO Venture Summit, in Bordeaux (21-22 October 2026)

Startups selected will also have the opportunity to join the INPHO Venture Summit 22-23 October 2026, a unique occasion to continue discussions with investors while engaging with semiconductor end-users and key industry stakeholders.

1. Chips Venture Forum at SEMICON Europa in Munich (10-13 November 2026)

The final stage will take place alongside SEMICON Europa, providing access to a broader ecosystem including: European Commission and EIC representatives semiconductor-focused investors attending SEMICON corporates, equipment players, and system integrators

With this new format, startups will benefit from a dual exposure: first, focused investor discussions to accelerate fundraising then, broader industry visibility across the semiconductor value chain

Organised by BLUMORPHO, EIC - European Innovation Council and European Commission within the aCCCess project
