Valentina Cogliati, CEO of Elemaster Group, and Ivo Boniolo, ELEVO Manager, attended ITF World 2026, held in Antwerp, Belgium, on 19 and 20 May 2026.
The event, organised by imec, brought together more than 2,000 professionals from across the semiconductor, AI and deep-tech landscape, including industry leaders, policymakers, start-up founders and investors.
Positioned as a high-level international forum, ITF World 2026 focused on the strategic paths shaping an AI-defined future, with discussions spanning semiconductors, deep-tech innovation, prototyping capabilities and next-generation applications in areas such as healthcare, mobility and robotics.
Several sessions highlighted how the next wave of AI will increasingly depend on physical systems, distributed computing architectures and scalable hardware platforms.
Topics such as local control, heterogeneous compute, advanced semiconductor architectures and AI-driven acceleration showed how innovation is moving closer to real-world applications in robotics, healthcare, mobility and industrial systems.
For Elemaster Group, these discussions are closely connected to its role as a technology and manufacturing partner capable of supporting complex electronic products from design and prototyping to validation, certification and industrial scale-up.
In this perspective, ITF World represented not only a forum on future technologies, but also a relevant platform to explore how deep-tech innovation can be translated into reliable and manufacturable solutions.
The participation of Valentina Cogliati and Ivo Boniolo reflected Elemaster Group’s commitment to engaging with the most advanced technology ecosystems, strengthening dialogue around innovation, industrial development and future-oriented collaboration.
Within this context, the presence of ELEVO further underlined the Group’s attention to the intersection between industrial vision, emerging technologies and deep-tech growth.
Their attendance also aligned with the collaboration between Elemaster Group and imec.istart, aimed at connecting deep-tech innovation with industrial execution.
