DNA-based data storage has reached a level of maturity where end-to-end systems can be demonstrated, yet its commercial applicability remains largely unvalidated. Several potential end-users, such as Big Science, Defence or anticounterfeiting, and other stakeholders in the value chain will discuss the challenges and opportunities for DNA-based data storage solutions in their own domains.
Moderated by Tomaž Karčnik
Presented by:
Carlo Wesseling - Netherlands Army, Netherlands
Andrej Filipčič - Jozef Stefan Institute, Slovenia; CERN, Switzerland
Robert Grass - Haelixa, Switzerland
Vincent Franceschini - SNIA
Discussion
This is a presentation from the 2026 Storage and Computing with DNA Conference.
