Conference
User2User Hardware-Assisted Verification Forum 2026

“Hardware Assisted Verification (HAV), including emulation and prototyping, plays a pivotal role in enabling early software bring-up and system-level validation on production-scale workloads.”
Siemens EDA, User2User Hardware-Assisted Verification Forum 2026 overview
GSAS Micro Systems is highlighting the User2User Hardware-Assisted Verification Forum 2026, a day-long industry forum hosted by Siemens EDA on Thursday, 9 July 2026 at Hotel Radisson Blu, Marathalli ORR, Bengaluru. The forum brings together keynote talks from technology leaders and technical sessions from engineering experts across the semiconductor ecosystem, focused on solving today’s verification and validation problems with Hardware-Assisted Verification (HAV): emulation and prototyping on the Siemens Veloce platform.
Slots are limited. Registration is handled directly by Siemens EDA through the official event page, request your spot using the Register button below.
What the forum covers
The scale and complexity of modern IC and SoC designs, driven by AI/ML, hyperscale datacenters, high-performance computing, and autonomous systems, has made verification closure and shift-left software validation more critical than ever. The technical programme spans:
- Emulation and prototyping industry trends: where HAV is heading for production-scale workloads
- New performance-improvement and debug flows: getting to root cause faster on emulated designs
- Networking SoC validation: challenges and solutions for validating large networking silicon
- Accelerating DFT simulation using Hardware-Assisted Verification platforms: running design-for-test workloads on emulation
Expect keynotes on the future of SoC verification and AI-driven design, technical sessions built on real-world user stories, and several hours of peer networking with verification experts and Siemens technologists.

Why Indian verification and DFT teams should care
Indian SoC design centres, networking-silicon teams, and DFT groups are under the same pressure the forum is built around: get software bring-up and system-level validation working before silicon arrives, and close verification faster on designs that keep growing. Hardware-assisted verification, emulation and prototyping, is how large teams shift that work left onto production-scale workloads.
For teams weighing where emulation fits alongside their functional-verification and test flows, this is a chance to hear the performance, debug, and DFT-acceleration story directly from Siemens engineering leaders and from verification practitioners at Nvidia and Marvell.
Why GSAS is sharing this
GSAS Micro Systems is an authorized India engineering partner for the Siemens EDA design and verification portfolio, including Questa FPGA verification and Tessent design-for-test. We are highlighting this forum so verification and DFT engineers across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Mumbai, and Delhi NCR can connect with the Siemens EDA hardware-assisted verification team in person.
The forum is hosted and run by Siemens EDA, register directly through the official event page. If your team is evaluating the Siemens EDA verification or DFT portfolio for an Indian SoC programme, talk to GSAS and we will help you map it to your flow.
