CHERITech'26

A two-day CHERI technical programme at Electronica / SEMICON Europa in Munich, connecting implementation work with the wider electronics industry.

CHERITech'26

Overview

CHERITech’26 brings the CHERI technical community to Electronica / SEMICON Europa, connecting the latest developments in hardware, software, standards and real-world implementation with the wider semiconductor and electronics industry. The event is organised by the CHERI Alliance in collaboration with SEMI, organiser of SEMICON Europa.

Whether CHERI is new to you or already on your technology roadmap, join us to learn from early implementations, see the technology in action, ask questions and connect with the organisations shaping what comes next.

CHERI meets the semiconductor industry

Munich Messe

The next step in secure computing is happening at the hardware level.

CHERI provides a stronger foundation for cybersecurity by adding hardware-enforced protections that help software use memory more safely and support fine-grained compartmentalisation.

At CHERITech’26, organisations from across industry and research will share progress in CHERI implementation, applications, standards, hardware, software and security evaluation. The conference takes place within Electronica / SEMICON Europa, giving its 80,000 visitors the opportunity to discover CHERI and putting the technology at the heart of the wider semiconductor and electronics community.

CHERITech is not just about watching presentations. Participants can ask questions, join discussions, explore exhibits and use the networking sessions to meet the people developing, evaluating and applying CHERI.

Why attend?

Munich Messe

Whether you're new to CHERI or already building with it, CHERITech’26 is an opportunity to:

  • get up to speed
  • learn from real implementations
  • see where the technology is heading
  • meet the people working on CHERI

Hear directly from organisations working across hardware, software, standards and real-world applications, see CHERI in action through demonstrations and exhibits, ask questions, exchange ideas and make connections with the people shaping the ecosystem.

Hear from organisations across the ecosystem

CHERITech’26 brings together speakers from cybersecurity, semiconductors, technology companies and leading universities.

The programme includes contributions from BSI, Siemens, Google, Ericsson, Codasip, lowRISC, PA Consulting, SCI Semiconductor, Capabilities Limited, the University of Cambridge, the Technical University of Munich and many others.

Get a front-row view of where CHERI is heading. Across two packed days, discover real-world applications, emerging standards and the latest advances in hardware, software, compartmentalisation and security research. Hear directly from the people building with CHERI, see how the technology is evolving across the stack, and join the conversations shaping what comes next.
