EVENT: Industrial deployment of spintronics for a more frugal digital world: opportunities and obstacles?

SAVE THE DATE: Don’t miss the Industrial Day of the SPIN Research Program on November 28 at the World Trade Center in Grenoble. This event will bring together key industry players to discuss opportunities and challenges in the spintronics market

This event is part of the SPIN Exploratory Program (PEPR), a flagship initiative of the France 2030 investment plan. Co-led by the CEA and CNRS, the SPIN PEPR aims to develop a new generation of components for a more energy-efficient, agile, and sustainable digital world. With a budget of 38 million euros over eight years, the program seeks to address scientific challenges, strengthen a national network for the development of innovative materials, and support interdisciplinary and cutting-edge research

The first “Industrial Day” of the PEPR SPIN, focusing on innovations and opportunities in the field of spintronics, will bring together industry players ranging from material suppliers to system designers and equipment manufacturers. We wanted to invite not only major companies in the field, such as Thales, but also promising startups like Hprobe, Nellow, and Golana Computing. This event, bringing together researchers, entrepreneurs, and industrialists, will provide a unique opportunity to discuss technological advancements, market trends in France, and development prospects. Moreover, we hope to identify concrete paths to accelerate the industrialization and societal integration of spintronics.
