SwissChips – Key Technology for the Digital Future
From smartphones to artificial intelligence: microchips are found in almost every modern technology. The SwissChips initiative demonstrates how Swiss research and industry are working together to develop the chips of tomorrow, thereby strengthening innovation, competitiveness and technological independence.
At the SwissChips stand, you will discover how Switzerland is helping to shape the future of technology – not with potato chips, but with microchips.
SwissChips is a national research initiative led by ETH Zurich, EPFL and CSEM, bringing together universities and industry to strengthen Switzerland’s digital independence. The aim is to develop the crucial chips of tomorrow here in Switzerland – for applications such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, medical technology and satellites.
Visit our stand to find out how modern microchips are made: tiny as a fingernail, yet packed with billions of transistors. You’ll learn why these chips are considered the ‘brains’ of our everyday lives – from smartphones to ChatGPT – and why they are becoming increasingly important for innovation, security and competitiveness.
Immerse yourself in the invisible world that drives our visible world: efficient, sustainable and technologically pioneering. Drop by, meet our researchers and engineers – and be inspired to help shape the digital future.
