Technology Panel
Growth, crises and everything in between are fueling ever more demand for semiconductors. Technical challenges are increasingly complex. R&D costs are escalating. Scaling is taking longer. Talent is scarce. Applications are proliferating. New market entrants are emerging. Business models are evolving. Change is constant. And while none of this is new to the semiconductor industry, the way we respond to change, the way we innovate, must. The panel will explore strategies to accelerate innovation – from talent and culture to invention and R&D methods, to incubating and scaling new technologies to commercialize products and services faster throughout the semiconductor ecosystem.
Moderator: Lubab Sheet-Davis, Vice President, Strategy and Innovation in the Office of the Chief Technology Officer, Lam Research
