The CODE4EV project was proudly represented at this year’s European Nanoelectronics Applications, Design & Technology Conference (ADTC), held in Grenoble, France. This annual event brings together leading experts in mobility innovation, microelectronics, and digital technology to discuss the future of connected, automated, and software-defined vehicles (SDVs).

Our colleague Eric Armengaud took the stage in Technical Session 7: Software-Defined Vehicles, delivering a joint presentation on behalf of both CODE4EV and our sister project TWIN-LOOP. Under the title “Contributions from Horizon Europe funded initiatives CODE4EV and TWIN-LOOP for the Software-Defined Vehicle of the Future initiative,” he outlined how these two EU-funded efforts are working in their projects to shape a Collaborative Development Framework for SDVs and contribute to the broader European innovation ecosystem.

This dedicated SDV session also featured complementary initiatives such as FEDERATE, HAL4SDV, and the IPCEI ME/CT program – each tackling different but interrelated challenges in the evolution of the software-defined vehicle landscape. What appeared at first to be a diverse mix of topics quickly revealed itself to be a converging ecosystem, rich in complementary research, skills, and stakeholders. Together, these initiatives are helping to build a foundation for coordinated innovation across the entire mobility value chain—from nanoelectronics and embedded systems to digital twins and vehicle operating systems.

The conference served not only as a platform to share CODE4EV’s vision, but also as a catalyst for new collaboration opportunities across European research and industry. The event enabled open dialogue and knowledge exchange with like-minded innovators and decision-makers working on the cutting edge of automotive and digital transformation.

As Eric noted after the session:

“It was a great experience to present alongside such inspiring projects and people. The session created a space for forward-looking dialogue – and I appreciated the opportunity to contribute to that exchange.”

We would like to thank the ADTC 2025 organizers for curating such a relevant and future-focused event, and for giving CODE4EV the opportunity to contribute to the shared European journey toward more intelligent, sustainable, and software-driven mobility.
