Day 2 of our semiconductor workshop is underway at the University of Tokyo.

The morning talks dove into next-gen tech, new channel materials, and the evolving semiconductor value chain.

Now listening to @FrancisBalestra presenting @INPACEhub initiative and the new JASMINE project—focused on building stronger collaboration between Japan and Europe.

Lots of interesting ideas around future cooperation topics.

💡 Why do hackatons matter?

At the 2nd EU–Japan Digital Week 2026, six teams worked on interoperability challenges in digital public infrastructure.

6 teams delivered functional prototypes tackling real-world challenges, from supply chains to digital product passports.

Finalists will go on to the final round, with the winner heading to Brussels in 2027.

👉 Short events. Big ideas. Real impact.
