The annual ECS Brokerage Event returns on 4–5 February 2026, and this year marks an important milestone: due to the continued success and rising participation, the event will take place at a new, larger venue — The Egg Brussels.
Co-organised by AENEAS, EPoSS, and INSIDE Industry Associations, the Brokerage Event is one of the key moments of the year for the European Electronic Components and Systems (ECS) community. Nearly 600 participants are expected to join the 2026 edition, making it the largest gathering to date for organisations preparing proposals for the Chips JU Calls 2026.
A unique opportunity to connect and collaborate
Over two days, participants will be able to:
-
Meet and network with ECS stakeholders from across Europe
-
Present or discover and join others’ RD&I project ideas
-
Build or strengthen project consortia
Pitch your project idea
The event also offers the opportunity to increase the visibility of your proposal:
-
A 5-minute pitch slot
-
A poster presentation in the exhibition area
Applications can be submitted via the ECS Collaboration Tool until 23 January 2026. Slots are limited, so early submissions are strongly encouraged.
Plan ahead
With several ECS-related events taking place in Brussels the same week, participants are encouraged to organise their agenda early. Special hotel rates are available via the official event website.
Registration now open
Participation fees apply, and all practical information is available on the ECS Brokerage website.
AENEAS looks forward to welcoming the ECS community at The Egg Brussels for two days of networking, collaboration, and project building.
