Critical areas of semiconductor industry growth including sustainability, smart manufacturing, smart mobility, smart medtech and workforce development will take center stage at SEMICON Southeast Asia, as the industry’s premier global electronics manufacturing and supply chain event returns to Penang 23-25 May at the Setia SPICE Convention Centre. SEMICON Southeast Asia 2023 is organized in partnership with Malaysia Ministry of International Trade & Industry (MITI), Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) and InvestPenang. Registration is open.
LogoThemed Boosting the Agility and Resiliency of the Electronics Supply Chain, SEMICON Southeast Asia 2023 will also gather industry leaders to explore ways to build a more robust supply chain as players across the ecosystem navigate the current economic downturn and ongoing disruptions.
“With global electronics supply chains being redrawn as a result of geopolitical forces, more multinational players are shifting their attention to Southeast Asia, where much of the world’s semiconductor manufacturing capabilities are concentrated,” said Linda Tan, President of SEMI Southeast Asia. “There is no better time for the region to bolster its position as a key hub for electronics manufacturing and deepen its integration with global value chains. We look forward to hosting industry leaders at SEMICON Southeast Asia 2023 as they gather to discuss how they can build on the region’s strengths to help increase global supply chain resilience, and better position the industry to seize the innovation and growth opportunities ahead.”
