The key mission of the Smart Systems Integration Conference is to align research, technology and dissemination activities along the entire value chain for future smart and sustainable system solutions. The Smart Systems community is joint by the system integration aspect covering the value chain from System on Chip via System in Package to System Applications – including hardware and software aspects. The conference connects participants from academia and industry as well as policy and decision makers. The three-day event is commonly organized by Fraunhofer ENAS together with the European Association on Smart Systems Integration – EPoSS to link technology and policy aspects in one event, while Silicon Saxony technically supports the conference organization.

The envisaged European autonomy on chips and the requirements for secure communication enhances the demand for joint efforts for integrated smart and sustainable system solutions on all levels. Still, the autonomy on chips must be discussed in the international context.
