semiconductor manufacturing

In the global environment for semiconductor businesses, uncertainty prevails, and the geopolitical scene is becoming more fractured. This outlook underlay the discussions at the SEMI Industry Strategy Symposium Europe (ISS Europe) 2024 hosted in Vienna (March 7-8, 2024).

Invest in Pomerania initiatives, coordinated by the Pomeranian Development Agency, are key in representing the interests of Pomeranian Voivodeship, focusing on promoting the region’s technological prowess to the global semiconductor market.

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.

Ahead of his presentation at SEMICON Europa, Dan Collins, General Manager of the SPTS Division at KLA Corporation, shares insights on the innovative approaches and practices that KLA has adopted to attract, nurture, and retain a diverse talent pool, while fostering workplace inclusivity.

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.

Each quarter SEMI recognizes the longstanding commitment and support of member companies as they reach a new membership milestone.

To support Europe’s industrial growth, SEMI Europe published a position paper with key recommendations on the proposed Kigali amendment to the Montreal Protocol to achieve the legally binding Greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets set by the 2021 European Climate Law [Regulation (EU) 2021/1119].

SEMICON Europa 2022 (Munich, 15-17 November) attendees gathered at the Executive Forum for the Opening Ceremony on day one to hear from industry leaders and gain insights into the latest market and technology trends.

ISS Europe 2022 featured a new program and event format with industry insights and strategic topics condensed into one day of programming on 3 critical challenges facing the microelectronics industry: the energy crisis and sustainability, supply chain disruptions, and the talent pipeline shortage.

The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the urgency to establish the manufacturing capacity needed to support the global recovery and onward rapid growth of the semiconductor industry, which is projected to exceed $1.2 trillion in revenue by 2030.
