Over the course of my seven-year tenure as President and CEO of SEMI, we have worked to build the premier platform for global semiconductor industry collaboration to address its shared opportunities and challenges.

The ITF towards NETZERO conference, powered by imec, at SEMICON Europa delved into the urgent changes required within the rapidly expanding semiconductor industry to prevent further exacerbation of the precarious state of the world’s climate.

The anticipation of semiconductor industry growth toward the $1 trillion revenue milestone generated excitement at the CEO Summit. SEMI Europe President Laith Altimime welcomed the industry’s recognition of the importance of responsible growth, emphasizing commitment to net zero.

Companies that share in the concern with the lack of low-carbon energy plans and actions in the APAC region should seriously consider sponsorship of the SCC Energy Collaborative.

The excitement at SEMICON West was palpable and the turnout reflected the charged atmosphere: attendance at the event jumped 37% from the previous year, as Joe Stockunas, President of SEMI Americas, pointed out in a wrap-up video interview with Silicon Semiconductor editor Phil Alsop.

Industry associations serve a vital role in amplifying the collective voice of its members for much greater impact than individual companies going it alone.

At SEMICON West 2023, experts discussed the growing legal and regulatory risks facing the semiconductor industry and how to navigate those risks through the pursuit of sustainability strategies and broader industry collaboration on policy development.

In the podcast, SEMI president and CEO Ajit Manocha discuses how the industry is addressing challenges to growth in the final episode of the SEMICON West podcast series featuring conversations with keynote and panel speakers, exhibitors and SEMI executives recorded before and at the event.

SEMI Europe's ongoing collaboration with key European industry players and governmental authorities on legislation such as the European Chips Act and critical topics including workforce diversity, sustainability, and supply chain resilience are crucial to the region’s future technological strength.

With technological advancements driving our digital era, the demand for semiconductors is skyrocketing. The chip industry is projected to reach unprecedented heights of around $1 trillion in annual revenue by 2030. However, amid this remarkable growth, a daunting challenge looms: the shortage of...
