Theme: Shaping Tomorrow: Breakthroughs in Lasers, Photonics & Optics Driving Technological Innovation This international summit will bring together optical scientists, photonics researchers, laser technology experts, academicians, and industry professionals to share knowledge, explore innovations, and build meaningful collaborations.

Beyond the AI boom lies a challenge—and opportunity—that is far more foundational: ensuring the materials ecosystem underpinning a $2.5 trillion industry is resilient enough to support the next era of innovation. As artificial intelligence accelerates demand for advanced hardware, energy infrastructure, and high‑performance components, the pressure on global materials supply chains has never been greater.

This year, SMC explores how industries can achieve scale readiness through smarter design, diversified sourcing, sustainable processes, and breakthrough materials science. It invites leaders to look past the excitement of AI itself and toward the essential building blocks that will determine whether this technological revolution is secure and sustainable.

The Strategic Materials Conference—SMC offers valuable content and unprecedented networking opportunities for semiconductor industry professionals who share common strategic objectives on materials innovation, management, and business success.

The 24th International Conference on Molecular Beam Epitaxy (ICMBE 2026) provides a prominent international forum for reporting new developments in the areas of fundamental and applied molecular beam epitaxy research, including advances in the technique, synthesis of new materials, discovery of new physical properties, formation of novel heterostructures and nanostructures, and the development of innovative devices.

The AVS 26th International Conference on Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD 2026) featuring the 13th International Atomic Layer Etching Workshop (ALE 2026) will be a three-day meeting dedicated to the science and technology of atomic layer controlled deposition of thin films and atomic layer etching. Since 2001, the ALD conference has been held alternately in the United States, Europe and Asia, allowing fruitful exchange of ideas, know-how and practices between scientists.

The AEK 2026 motto highlights the importance of disruptive technologies and open ecosystems as key enablers of innovation. Consumer-centric mobility requires architectures that can evolve continuously, integrate new functions efficiently, and support rapid innovation cycles without compromising safety or reliability. Future-proof E/E architectures are therefore not only a technical necessity, but a strategic prerequisite for competitiveness in a software-driven automotive world.

At AEK 2026, industry leaders from OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and technology providers will explore how AI-powered systems, next-generation E/E architectures, and collaborative ecosystems are reshaping vehicle development and production. The conference will focus on real-world implementation, scalability, and the transition from innovation to series production.

This premier event, now in its 46th year, will be held under the theme "Advancing the AI Frontier through VLSI Innovation". The upcoming symposium will explore how VLSI technology and circuits enable applications like artificial intelligence, machine learning, 6G connectivity, and quantum computing.

COMPUTEX is a leading global exhibition focused on AIoT and startups.
The expo will theme “AI Together”, featuring the latest tech trends: AI & Computing, Robotics & Mobility, and Next-Gen Tech. Recognized for its adaptability to industry changes. It has established itself as a premier platform for showcasing technological innovations.
