Our ICNCE-2026 will host a trade exhibition with organisations, major projects, manufacturers and service providers of all types of neuromorphic hardware and architecture, neuromorphic algorithms and software, as well as partners who offer AI solutions and those who use them. You as a manufacturer and/or service provider are invited to present your latest developments and demonstrate new application possibilities. The exhibition at the Eurogress Centre will be an integral part of the conference and will help to make our ICNCE-2026 a comprehensive source of information for all those interested in neuromorphic computing, neuroscience and artificial intelligence. Exhibitors will be displayed during the conference. Please contact our exhibition coordinator for details:
