Innovations in materials and advanced electronics: drivers of sovereignty for defense systems

The European Ceramics Cluster and ALPHA-RLH are organizing a one-day event on July 9, 2026, in Limoges at the Pôle de Lanaud, focusing on advanced ceramics, electronics, and defense applications.

Technological sovereignty depends on the development of advanced technologies and innovative components for microwave and communication systems, combining performance, miniaturization, and flexibility.

In a context marked by evolving defense systems and operational environments, ceramic materials are emerging as key solutions. Their electromagnetic, mechanical, and thermal properties meet the sector’s stringent requirements and contribute to the development of increasingly high-performance and robust equipment.

To begin with, the AID (Agence de l’Innovation de Défense) will present the roadmap for priority areas in micro- and nanoelectronics and materials, in order to provide context for technological needs and expectations.

On the program:

• Technology conferences focused on microwave solutions, power components, and advanced materials,
• Visits to Bernardaud, 3D Ceram, CISTEME, …
• Business meeting
• Networking event the night before, July 8.

Speakers will include: SOLCERA, EXXELIA, CEA Tech Occitanie, ALPHANOV, CISTEME, INOVEOS, …
