DAC 2026 Recap & DVCon India 2026 Preview: Agentic AI, RISC-V & The EDA Frontier
Transcript
Poojitha: Hey everyone, welcome back to Silicon Bridge, an EEHerald special podcast. We've got a two-part episode today. First, we're doing a quick recap of the biggest EDA and chip design trends from DAC 2026, along with a look at recent industry news. Then, as the official media partner for DVCon India 2026, we're closing out with our preview of the show, happening September 1st through 3rd in Bengaluru.
Kubra: Basically — where the industry's been, and where you should point your attention next.
Poojitha: Exactly. I'm your host, Poojitha, joined by Kubra and our senior editors Ashish Rao and Srinivas Reddy. Let's get into it.
Ashish: One-line framing before we start: AI adoption is now a real, measurable revenue driver for EDA companies — not a slide in an investor deck. That's the thread running through everything we're about to cover.
Poojitha:Let's kick things off with the global DVCon... the verification show from earlier this year. Srinivas, what stood out to you?
SiliconBridge is a product of EE Herald. We independently explore the nexus between industry, academia and past, prevailing and potential future geopolitical architectures
