The products, services and technologies provided by SEMI member companies make possible the bridge between scientific achievement and commercial and societal gain. As new applications, form factors, end products, and social needs emerge, SEMI members will be there to help them become more affordable, more accessible and more productive. SEMI has also helped facilitate the creation of new manufacturing regions by providing advice and council, facilitating collaborations, organizing trade missions, and other activities necessary to integrate market forces, governmental economic policy, education and human capital programs, and financial support.
