Det danske chipdesign-miljø samles til unikt arrangement

Studerende, forskere og folk fra industrien samles den 14. april til DTU Chipday i Lyngby, hvor der også tilknyttet en udstilling mere flere af de absolut førende leverandører som deltagere (in english).

DTU Chipday returns for its fourth edition on 14 April 2026, bringing together students, researchers, and industry professionals to explore and strengthen the Danish chip design ecosystem.

Integrated circuit design has been the key technology driver for more than 50 years - and will continue to be for decades to come. Denmark has established itself as a world-class player within domains such as audio processing, hearing aid technology, wireless communication, and quantum computing, with more emerging. 

Companies ranging from global leaders like GN, NVIDIA, and Demant to ambitious startups like Lotus Microsystems, Quantum Foundry Copenhagen, IC-Optimize, and Diasense are all building on Danish chip design talent. DTU Chipday brings this community together to connect, share knowledge, and inspire the next generation.

What to expect

The half-day conference opens with lunch and networking at 12:30, followed by an afternoon packed with keynotes, technical presentations, and exhibition stands. 

GN CTO Brian Dam Pedersen delivers the opening keynote on the importance of IC development and what it has meant to the hearing aid business in Denmark. Michael Smedegaard, Chief Audio HW Architect at Meta, closes the keynote programme with a talk on the opportunities ahead for Danish chip design.

A dedicated session on chip education in Denmark features professors from DTU and SDU presenting complete and comprehensive study programmes within analogue and digital chip design, the first student tape-out, and chip research initiatives - highlighting the pipeline from university to industry.

Two technical presentation blocks showcase the breadth of the Danish chip ecosystem - from Lotus Microsystems and EDA startup IC-Optimize to DSP audio processing at GN, quantum chip fabrication at Quantum Foundry Copenhagen, and ultra high speed communication at NVIDIA.

Alongside the conference programme, an exhibition floor gives companies the opportunity to showcase their products, tools, and career opportunities directly to the chip design community. Confirmed exhibitors include GN Hearing, NVIDIA, Synopsys, Siemens EDA, SonicEdge, Lotus Microsystems, Presto Engineering, 4ASICS, Quantum Foundry, Copenhagen, IC Works, IC-Optimize, SyoSil, Quantum Machines, Diasense, and Silicom Denmark.

A limited number of exhibition stands are still available. Booths can be reserved as part of the registration process at www.chipday.dk.
