Semiconductor conference returns to Penang

Global semiconductor association SEMI will be hosting SEMICON Southeast Asia from 26–28 April 2016 at the Subterranean Penang International Convention and Exhibition Centre (SPICE) in Penang, Malaysia.

The event will offer a complete platform for engaging customers, suppliers, engineers and decision-makers from across the industry.

From an in-depth market trends briefing, to technology and business forums, visitors will be able to learn what is driving development and growth in the global and Southeast Asia microelectronics markets, said Ng Kai Fai, president of SEMI Southeast Asia. The event is expected to draw more than 7000 visitors.

SEMICON SEA 2016 will focus on the key trends and solutions in semiconductor design and manufacturing, including emphasis on serving the needs of expanding applications markets, many of which require development of specialised materials, packaging and test technologies, as well as new architectures and processes.

“The positive response for SEMICON SEA last year clearly shows that industry participants recognise the need to network, collaborate and innovate in order to grow and compete. Furthermore, SEMICON SEA gives exhibitors the opportunity to engage with their customers and showcase their technology leadership. In fact, this year, we are already off to a good start with many of our booths already taken up. As such, we are confident that SEMICON SEA 2016 will be another sterling success,” said Ng Kai Fai.
