Themed Boosting Agility and Resiliency of the Global Electronics Supply Chain, SEMICON Southeast Asia 2024 opens today at MITEC in Kuala Lumpur with visionaries and experts gathered for insights into the latest industry developments, trends and innovations and critical areas including sustainability, smart manufacturing, and workforce development. Registration is open for the May 28-30 exhibition and conferences.
With the Southeast Asia semiconductor sector attracting growing worldwide investments as more regions diversify their supply chains, SEMICON Southeast Asia has seen an exponential expansion in attendance. More than 500 companies are exhibiting at over 1,000 booths, doubling participation from last year’s exhibition and conference. The growth confirms the rising importance of Southeast Asia's semiconductor sector and the critical role of SEMICON Southeast Asia in bringing together industry stakeholders to uncover new innovation and growth opportunities.
Accounting for US$200 billion in chip exports, Southeast Asia boasts growing manufacturing capabilities, supporting government policies and a strong pool of skilled workers.
“Southeast Asia is well-positioned to help accelerate the semiconductor industry’s unprecedented growth driven in part by game-changing innovations such as GenAI," said SEMI President and CEO Ajit Manocha. “With the diversification of supply chains afoot, the region’s skilled workforce, robust infrastructure and rising foreign direct investment are positioning it to become a critical hub in the global chip ecosystem. We’re excited to host key industry stakeholders as they come together at SEMICON Southeast 2024 to drive the sector forward.”
