Brainchain at EBSCON 2025: Europe on Its Way to Becoming an Innovation Powerhouse

On October 8, 2025, Europe’s electronics and software industries will gather in Graz for EBSCON – the Electronic and Software Based Systems Conference. Under the title “Barcamp European Innovation: How Fabless Companies Allow Europe to Focus on Innovation,” leading representatives from the semiconductor and technology sectors will discuss how Europe can reposition itself in global competition through a consistent fabless strategy.

Among the panelists: Robert Schneider, CEO of Brainchain AG. Together with experts from Silicon Austria Labs, ams OSRAM, the Swedish Chips Competence Center, Leti, the Austrian Chips Competence Center, Minalogic, Blumorpho, High Tech NL, and other leading organizations, the discussion will center on one crucial question:

How can Europe focus on its true strengths – innovation, research, and value creation – without being drawn into costly and risk-prone manufacturing capacities?

Fabless as an Opportunity for Europe

The fabless model means that companies focus on design, research, and innovation, while production is outsourced. This approach has already enabled tremendous leaps in innovation in the U.S. and Asia – and Europe is now working to follow this path more decisively.

Especially in times of geopolitical tension, supply chain risks, and intensifying competition, the fabless model offers a way to redefine Europe’s role in the global semiconductor industry:

• Focus on high technology & research: More resources for disruptive innovation.

• Resilient supply chains: Reducing dependencies through strategic partnerships.

• Strengthening European value creation: Expertise stays in Europe, even when production is outsourced.

Brainchain’s Perspective

For Brainchain, this development is a clear affirmation of its mission:

Technology-driven companies in Europe must secure and expand their innovation power and protect their intellectual property strategically. Only by doing so can ideas be transformed into market-ready technologies that not only compete globally but also ensure sustainable value creation within Europe.

Conclusion

EBSCON 2025 highlights Europe’s opportunity to take on a leading role in the semiconductor and electronics sector – not as a manufacturing hub, but as an innovation powerhouse.

By joining the panel, Brainchain sends a clear message:Innovation is Europe’s raw material – we help protect it, harness it, and turn it into market success.
