SEMI announced its inaugural Midwestern U.S. event, SEMIEXPO In The Heartland, during SEMICON West 2024. Scheduled to debut April 1-2, 2025, at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, the new annual event will feature discussions on the deployment of smart manufacturing tools, technologies, and methods supporting the creation of semiconductors, as well as gather stakeholders in the semiconductor, sensor, and mobility ecosystems to address technical issues and supply chain dynamics.
During the opening of SEMICON West, Joe Stockunas, President of SEMI Americas, commended Eric Holcomb, Governor of Indiana, as well as the Applied Research Institute, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, Purdue University, and Visit Indy, for their partnership and support in bringing the event to Indianapolis.
“With growing activity for both automotive electronics and smart manufacturing in the Midwestern region, SEMIEXPO In The Heartland will provide a key opportunity for collaboration,” said Stockunas. “These are important end markets that are advancing the semiconductor industry on the path to $1 trillion in annual revenue, and we’re excited to kick off our inaugural event in Indianapolis.”
SEMI selected Indianapolis as the event location due to its strong local communities for both automotive electronics and smart manufacturing, in addition to its proximity to Purdue University and its robust pipeline of semiconductor engineering talent.
SEMIEXPO In The Heartland will feature participation from the SEMI communities for its Smart Mobility initiative, which brings together microelectronics stakeholders and the automotive and broader mobility ecosystems to address technical issues and supply chain dynamics, and its Smart Manufacturing initiative that helps microelectronics manufacturers accelerate Industry 4.0 technology deployment. SEMI will announce additional details on exhibiting and speaking at SEMIEXPO In The Heartland, and on sponsoring and attending, leading up to the event.
