MUNICH, Germany â”� October 19, 2021 â”� With leading-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), 5G and robotics at the heart of digital transformation, SEMICON Europa 2021 will convene industry visionaries and experts 16-19 November for insights into the latest innovations and smart applications powering the next wave of semiconductor industry growth. Europe’s premier event connecting the entire electronics design and manufacturing supply chain, SEMICON Europa, co-located with productronica, returns to Messe München, in Munich, Germany for a live exhibition and conferences. Registration is open.

Semiconductor manufacturing resiliency is growing in importance as the semiconductor supply chain works to overcome disruptions and shortages trigged by the pandemic. SEMICON Europa will explore ways the global supply chain can better withstand shocks in the future. 

“We are excited to welcome back key semiconductor industry players in person in Munich,” said Laith Altimime, president of SEMI Europe. “SEMICON Europa gathers experts across the value chain for the collaboration and innovation critical to Europe’s semiconductor industry growth. Visitors will take a deep dive into how semiconductors are making manufacturing, automotive and healthcare smarter to drive higher efficiency and productivity across a wide range of applications.”

SEMICON Europa 2021 will examine how the semiconductor industry can integrate environmental and social sustainability into its growth strategy to help transform Europe into a sustainable, connected digital hub that enables life-changing applications for current and future generations. The event will also highlight process, materials and technology innovations that make it possible for chipmakers to implement cutting-edge 3D packaging for a broad range of new application-specific technologies.
