Global Executive Summit

Join senior executives from Apple, Samsung Foundry, BASF and Applied Materials, for a discussion on the partnerships required to meaningfully bend the curve towards decarbonization. In an industry already operating under tremendous constraints, what are the lower hanging fruits that are ripe for intentional, precompetitive collaboration? And what can be solved independently?

Discover how fabless leaders are driving decarbonization through innovations in energy-efficient product architecture and the critical role of silicon design in minimizing "Use Phase" emissions, the largest contributor to a chip's carbon footprint.

Hear from technology leaders at AMD, Qualcomm, Meta, and Google on why accelerated decarbonization is a business imperative. This panel explores how end-users are (1) acting with a sense of urgency, (2) engaging and enabling their supply chains, (3) driving energy efficient design to drive innovation to accelerate collective progress.

From Fragmentation to Focus: Outlining a strategy to activate the fab supply chain with a unified customer voice and collaborative support.

Hear from Apple senior leadership on supply chain engagement and decarbonization, using commercial levers and the power of support and collaboration.

Hear about TSMC's upstream scope 3 (supply chain) decarbonization leadership and recognition of the business imperative, which have been embedded into their core supplier engagement program.

Highlighting clean energy advanced procurement academies and demand aggregation case studies. Announce renewed ambitions and goals for fab upstream scope 3 decarbonization.

Setting the stage for collective action on clean electricity in Asia.

Hear a market outlook on Clean Electricity in Korea, Japan, and Taiwan, examining current barriers to renewable expansion and the major opportunities driving investment and clean energy growth through 2030.

Accelerating Clean Electricity expansion requires clear, coordinated policy action. By uniting around shared advocacy priorities, industry and government can remove barriers, unlock renewable supply, and strengthen cost competitiveness across Korea, Japan, and Taiwan.

Explore the proposed Clean Semiconductor Partnership (CSP), SEMI’s flagship initiative to accelerate Clean Electricity development in Korea by aligning industry, government, and utilities on policy reform and procurement innovation, creating a model for collaborative clean energy expansion across Asia.

From discussion to action, secure collective advocacy priorities, resource commitments, and endorsement of the Clean Semiconductor Partnership as the pilot for accelerating Clean Electricity expansion across the region.

How banks, fabs, and retailers can work together to lower renewable energy prices and spread risk, while examining how AI and digital innovation can accelerate price reductions across the supply chain, grid integration, and project development.

Reflect on the day's takeaways and action items.

Join us for Networking in the Orchard Foyer

A forward-looking conversation on how the semiconductor industry can navigate the convergence of climate action, geopolitics, and AI to define its leadership in 2030.

Opening remarks will summarize Day 1 and preview Day 2.

Hear from industry leader TSMC on their strategy for decarbonizing advanced semiconductor manufacturing and how it connects to the four GES Priority Initiatives including a new, collaborative path to scale low-GWP gas substitutions from R&D to high-volume manufacturing.

Current efforts to pursue low Global Warming Potential (GWP) gas substitutions in etch and chamber clean applications remain fragmented, resulting in high material costs for HVM application. While promising gas substitutions exist, the traditional paths of small scale or single customer adoption are typically too expensive due to cost scaling limitations. So how do we enable low GWP gas substitutions that also meet cost (as well as performance) expectations? By coordinating a fab-led, industry wide approach to
1) Prioritize a single, low GWP target gas for replacement
2) Co-create and execute a phased experimental plan

Hear from a top equipment leader on the process innovations and industry collaboration required to scale low-GWP gas substitution from R&D to high-volume manufacturing

Learn about imec’s Gas Assessment Platform for Sustainability (GAPS) project and how it can be leveraged as an industry test bed for low GWP gas substitution

Hear perspectives from leaders in electronic design automation (EDA), materials, and equipment OEMs on the challenges and opportunities in driving industry adoption of low GWP gases

From Commitment to Action: Outlining the roadmap and action plan for the Gas Substitution Initiative.

Industry-wide collaboration is critical to accelerate technology innovation and unlock scalable, cost-effective abatement solutions to ease abatement deployment challenges on cost, facilities, space, utilities and operational complexity. Micron will deliver a keynote sharing the abatement journey and the state of current efforts in emission measurement.

Catalytic abatement remains an important technology, but further research and efforts are needed to identify new catalytic materials, scale performance, and improve their recyclability. Hear from a leading fab and a leading catalyst developer and learn about a promising funding opportunity lead by the Korean government.

Abatement technologies are advancing rapidly, and new breakthroughs are on the horizon. Engage with leading abatement suppliers on their outlook on technology roadmaps, strategic priorities and collaborative opportunities.

Call-to-actions for commitment to drive high efficiency and low-fuel abatement solutions to accelerate carbon footprint reduction and commercialization, and advance emission measurement technologies to simplify performance verification.

Hear the takeaways from the Summit and actions for moving forward in our decarbonization journey.
