The global semiconductor market is expected to reach an astounding $1 trillion by 2030.  As the industry endeavors to reach this milestone, it will encounter both headwinds and tailwinds. As the past few years have demonstrated, opportunities in the industry come hand-in-hand with new and unexpected challenges. From trade wars to a global pandemic to supply chain and economic disruptions, companies in all industries had to scramble to keep ahead of the curve. 

As we continue to ramp up to reach the 1 trillion-dollar mark, navigating through both favorable and challenging conditions will be crucial in ensuring sustained growth and success. Technological advancements, increasing demand for electronics, diversification into new markets, globalization, investment in R&D, and sustainability practices will be critical factors. Addressing challenges and leveraging the opportunities will require a strategic and comprehensive approach, coordinated and collaborative efforts from key players, governments, and research institutions.

The Industry Strategy Symposium—ISS 2024 is designed to help you identify opportunities and tackle the challenges ahead and to see the whole picture—the business, economics, technology, workforce development, sustainability forces at play—so you can map out a strategy that minimizes risks and maximizes growth opportunities.

The range of expertise and insight at ISS is legendary: Speakers typically include industry leaders, economists, technologists, investors, and government officials—all bringing insight and unique perspectives to challenge your thinking and sharpen your focus. The speakers at this year’s ISS will focus their expertise on what will be the drivers to help ramp up the industry’s path to $1T, how to fully capitalize on investments and opportunities, with emphasis on tailwinds and headwinds and how these can either accelerate or impede growth. Key topics on the successful implementation of regional and global investments, private and public partnerships, market drivers and technologies uniting to drive us forward over the next five years will be presented.

Join us at the Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay, CA to get the latest insights on economic trends, market drivers, geopolitics, technology and what these will mean for the near future to help drive your business forward. The cooperative platform of ISS and its tremendous collective assets will serve to help power your strategies for the coming months and years.

Come to ISS 2024 and get Ready, Set and Ramp to $1T!
