The 3rd SEMI Brussels Forum was very successful to communicate the SEMI White Paper towards the EU. Compared to previous years, the event was larger with 142 people representing the various stakeholders, and the presence of executives from the industry clearly demonstrates both their concern and support. In total 16 countries were represented including Russia, Israel and UAE. It was the industry discussing an issue (and recommendations via the SEMI White Paper) rather than the European Commission explaining to us what they are working on. The SEMI European Advisory Board made on 9 December 8 visits to the European Parliament and Commission (DG Trade, DG Information Society and Media, DG Enterprise and Industry, DG Internal Market), in total reaching out to over 40 people from the European Commission. These visits were important to keep reminding the EU of the importance of the semiconductor industry, not just for itself, but for the competitiveness of Europe in general as it is an enabling industry for other key European industry segments such as automotive, telecommunication, energy, e-health, Germany for instance depends 80% on modern ICT applications for their exports. While 20% of the cost in these high value-add products comes form electronics, 100% of their performance and innovation comes from electronics. Semiconductor is a driver of innovation, and the service industry it powers, represents 10% of the GDP. Previous event participants The SEMI Brussels Forum attracted 142 people representing the various stakeholders, and the presence of executives from the industry clearly demonstrates both their concern and support. In total 16 countries were represented including Russia, Israel and UAE
Previous event media coverage SEMI spokespeople held 7 interviews with industry and national press. Covered by 7 online and 8 print media.
