Systems Workforce Summit 2026

On 27–28 October 2026, international leaders from industry, academia, government and professional organizations will gather in Delft for a Systems Workforce Summit.

This is a unique, high-level working meeting focused on one of the most critical bottlenecks of our time: the growing shortage of systems  professionals required to architect and realize complex societal and industrial transformations and of Systems of Systems.

This Summit builds on a  widespread recognition: the ability to deliver holistic results in areas such as energy, healthcare, mobility, agriculture, and digital infrastructure all of which increasingly depend on holistic system approaches which are led by professionals who can integrate technology, engineering, business, policy, and risks across complex, interdependent and software intensive Systems of Systems.
