Particular emphasis will be placed on:
• Semiconductors
• Artificial intelligence (AI) and computation
• Quantum technology
• Sustainability and green digital practices.

The symposium brings together a broad ecosystem of research organizations, universities, and industry players from both sides of the partnership. Current network members include CEA, CNRS, Inria, and IMEC from Europe, and AIST, Tohoku University, and the Institute of Science Tokyo from Japan. The symposium also welcomes invited institutions such as Fraunhofer and RIKEN, alongside industry partners such as IBM Japan and STMicroelectronics.
