Events

The fourth edition of the Trusted Electronics Days will take place in Essen, Germany, in October 2025. The event will focus on issues faced by SMEs.

The Trusted Electronics Days are an annual event that addresses the challenges of the trustworthiness of hardware and software in electronics, a key concern in times of globally networked production chains and with regard to the European Cyber Resilience Act. The event serves to provide information and exchange ideas on technical, industrial and political topics relating to trusted electronics. This year, the focus will be on the related issues from the perspective of SMEs.

The Trusted Electronics Days are organized by the VDE/ITG specialist group and Chipdesign Germany working group on trusted electronics (Velektronik). The event will be organized by TÜV Informationstechnik (TÜV NORD GROUP) in Essen.

In an increasingly networked IoT ecosystem, the confidentiality, authenticity and protection of data is crucial. This requires electronic systems to be resistant to manipulation attacks at hardware level. 

Over the past three years, the partners of the French-German project APRIORI (funded by the French ANR and the German BMBF) and the VE-FIDES project (funded by the German BMBF) have been working towards this goal. Highlights and practical results from both projects will be presented at the workshop.

The EU has launched legislative projects that affect the digitalized and networked economy at its core: the NIS 2 Directive, the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and the IEC 62443 / Machinery Regulation EU 2023/1230 set out provisions for internal IT infrastructure and manufacturing (IT & OT) and define standards for networked hardware and software products.

The pressure on companies to take action is increasing, but the measures are anything but trivial to implement due to the multitude of mandatory standards and the large number of stakeholders.

Learn about the specialist expertise of our scientists at our 2nd Cybersecurity Day on "CRA, NIS-2 & Co: Leveraging new regulations to boost innovation" and benefit from the added value for your company.
