	https://date26date-conference.com/programme#LK03\n\n\nIn recent years, the 
	paradigm of open source has moved beyond software to transform the 
	landscape of semiconductor design. Open-source Electronic Design 
	Automation (EDA) tools offer a transformative path toward lowering 
	barriers to entry, ensuring technological sovereignty, and accelerating 
	engineering productivity. This talk provides a comprehensive overview of 
	the current state of the open-source hardware ecosystem and its future 
	potential. We will take a deep dive into Europe’s strategic investments 
	in these frameworks and explore how fostering a robust open-source 
	toolchain is the essential catalyst for the next generation of open-source 
	chips.
