Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

SEMICON India 2024 will bring together global leaders, semiconductor industry experts, academia, and government officials from September 11-13, 2024, at the India Exposition Mart Ltd. (IEML) in Greater Noida, Delhi NCR. The event will offer valuable insights into innovations and trends in key areas such as smart manufacturing, supply chain management, sustainability, and workforce development. The event’s extensive exhibition will feature over 250 exhibitors from across the global semiconductor supply chain and will be co-located with electronica India and productronica India, providing Southeast Asia’s single largest platform for showcasing the latest advancements in the semiconductor and electronics industries. Registration is open.

The SEMICON India 2024 program is designed to maximize technological advancements in the semiconductor and electronics domain and highlight India’s policies aimed at strengthening its semiconductor ecosystem. Themed Shaping the Semiconductor Future, the event will showcase the country’s growing semiconductor ecosystem with support from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), Government of India (GoI). Additionally, officials from state governments – including host state Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat, Assam, Karnataka, Odisha, and Tamil Nadu – will share their vision for ecosystem expansion with progressive and industry-friendly policies for attracting investments in the semiconductor and display ecosystems.

“India is primed to blossom as a global semiconductor hub, as the chip industry seeks to bolster supply chain resiliency, serve the rapidly growing electronics market, and employ the region’s wealth of engineering talent,” said Ajit Manocha, SEMI President and CEO. “SEMI is bringing the collective power and expertise of our member companies in the global electronics design and manufacturing supply chain to SEMICON India, along with hallmark SEMICON opportunities for networking, new business, and tech and market updates from top experts. This is not just a new exposition – SEMICON India represents a path to accelerate the growth of the India semiconductor ecosystem as SEMI and SEMICONs have done in other key industry regions over the past half century.”

“India Semiconductor Mission, Ministry of Electronics & IT, and Government of India are committed to a diversified and resilient semiconductor supply chain,” said ISM CEO Shri Akash Tripathi. “In the last 32 months, ISM has placed India in the semiconductor manufacturing map of the world with four semiconductor manufacturing facilities coming up with a total investment of over USD 17billion. With a very strong talent pipeline and strong resolve of GoI to support the development of the semiconductor industry in India, I am sure we will be a successful in becoming a trusted partner in the global value chain of semiconductors in the coming years.”
