Sustainability, smart technologies and workforce development will take center stage at SEMICON West 2022 Hybrid, July 12-14 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, as more than 200 industry leaders, visionaries and technology experts convene to present insights into the latest trends, innovations and developments across the microelectronics supply chain. The event, North America’s premier exhibition and conference for the microelectronics supply chain, will feature on-site keynotes, fireside chats, and executive panels with thought leaders from the semiconductor ecosystem, academia and government. Registration is open, visit SEMI’s website.
With decarbonization building momentum worldwide, the Global Sustainability Summit will debut at SEMICON West 2022 Hybrid to help drive the collaboration necessary for the semiconductor industry to reduce its carbon footprint. Co-hosted by SEMI and McKinsey & Company, the summit comes as semiconductor manufacturers are increasingly committing to sustainability targets. In parallel, SEMI member companies are joining forces with startups to enable a greener chip industry as part of the SEMI Sustainability Initiative.
SEMICON West 2022 Hybrid will also highlight opportunities for overcoming other worldwide challenges such as unmet demand for chips and the semiconductor workforce shortage while addressing key themes including government investment in chip manufacturing, digital transformation, and heterogeneous integration.
“With strong progress on CHIPS Act passage and significant new fab investments in the U.S., we’re thrilled to welcome back key semiconductor industry players to SEMICON West in July to explore new business and collaboration opportunities at the heart of continuing innovation,” said Joe Stockunas, president of SEMI Americas. “Companies from across the entire supply chain will network and showcase the latest technologies and products as we invite them to join the industry’s sustainability push, which is key for it to thrive.”
