The next edition of EFECS – the European Forum for Electronic Components and Systems is set for December 3–4, 2025 in Malta at the same location of the inaugural ECSEL Symposium in 2017. The event will focus on boosting innovation and European competitiveness in the ECS sector.

This year's theme, "Accelerate Innovation: Building European Competitiveness," emphasizes value chain security, sustainability, and the exploration of emerging market opportunities. Key features include insightful keynotes and discussions on cutting-edge topics like quantum tech, cybersecurity, and AI.

Attendees will have the chance to network with over 700 stakeholders from Europe’s semiconductor and ECS ecosystem, as well as strengthen the Chips Joint Undertaking mission.

Autoship - a new and durable way of freight transport

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.

At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
