A big thank you to everyone who joined us for the MOSIS 2.0 Developer Workshop today at IEEE International MTT Symposia (IMS) 2026!

We're grateful to our presenters, Jon Hacker (@[Teledyne Scientific & Imaging](urn:li:organization:1379764)), @[Istvan Rodriguez](urn:li:person:oE52o6Wa_I) ( Raytheon), @[Maxwell Duffy](urn:li:person:dTndPzWm_c) ( Northrop Grumman), and David Fanning (@[HRL Laboratories, LLC](urn:li:organization:24318)), who shared insights into advanced semiconductor technologies and prototyping opportunities.

Our Director, Rehan Kapadia, provided an overview of the MOSIS 2.0 ecosystem, and Kenneth Zick ( USC Information Sciences Institute) demonstrated the MOSIS 2.0 Accelerated Prototyping Platform (MAPP)β€”a reusable, programmable prototyping environment that eliminates the need to build custom testbeds, interfaces, and integrations from scratch.

We look forward to continuing the conversation with developers and supporting your journey from concept to prototype and beyond.
