Multi‑Trillion by Design: Semiconductors as the World’s New Critical Infrastructure

The global semiconductor industry is entering a defining era; one in which chips are no longer simply components inside devices, but the foundation of the world’s digital economy, AI infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, mobility, communications, energy systems, healthcare innovation, and national security. 

As industry revenues accelerate toward multi-trillion-dollar scale, the next phase of growth will not happen by chance. It must be designed through strategic investment, resilient supply chains, trusted global partnerships, and coordinated innovation across the full electronics ecosystem.

Anchored by the 2026 theme, Multi-Trillion by Design: Semiconductors as the World’s New Critical Infrastructure, ITPC will convene senior executives and decision-makers from across the semiconductor design and manufacturing supply chain to examine how the industry can shape this future with intention—balancing rapid AI-driven demand, geopolitical complexity, sustainability pressures, workforce needs, and the technology breakthroughs required to power the next decade of global progress.

ITPC History

The SEMI International Trade Partners Conference—ITPC has championed industry coordination for over four decades. The event was originally designed to support collaboration and productive trans-pacific relationship amidst severe trade tensions that threatened supply chain prosperity in the 1980s. Having successfully contributed to a spirit of cooperation and mutual business interest, the event continues to promote alignment in the era of globalization. It has developed into a premier executive thought-leadership and relationship-building event to support global industry executive-level engagement.

ISS 2027—Beyond the $1T Milestone: Building the Next Chapter of Semiconductor Growth

The semiconductor industry stands at a defining moment, having achieved the historic milestone of becoming a trillion-dollar industry. The next era of growth will be defined not by scale alone, but by the ability to anticipate new demand, accelerate innovation, and build a resilient global ecosystem capable of supporting the technologies that will transform every sector of the economy.

ISS 2027 convenes the industry's foremost leaders to examine the economic, geopolitical, technological, and market forces shaping the future. Discussions will explore the evolution of semiconductor demand, advances in AI, memory, advanced packaging, and quantum technologies, the emergence of new growth markets, and the manufacturing capacity, supply chain resilience, and ecosystem partnerships required to sustain long-term expansion.

Beyond the $1T Milestone is a call to look ahead—to understand not only the technologies that will define the future, but also the strategies, partnerships, and investments needed to build a stronger, more resilient semiconductor ecosystem. Together, these elements will enable the industry to move beyond its first trillion-dollar milestone and shape the next chapter of semiconductor growth and innovation.

China United States Register EMG China Webinar Business Executive

Over the past year, trade relations between the United States and China have changed dramatically. The United States has imposed tariffs on over $250 billion worth of imports from China, and China has responded in kind. The trade tension has caused significant disruption and uncertainty for companies, including all segments of the semiconductor industry. Initial estimates indicate that these tariffs will cost semiconductor companies more than $700 million annually. This presentation will review the impacts of the tariffs on the microelectronics industry, other U.S. actions that could affect this industry, and the path ahead in 2019.

The current state of relations between the U.S. and China are the result of decades of growth and conflicting interests by these two economic and military powers. This discussion will examine how the current situation evolved and focus on the economic, political and military implications of decisions made by leaders of both nations.

The Honorable James Talent
U.S. China Economic & Security Review Commission

A Perspective on the Current State of U.S.-China Affairs

Senator Jim Talent was appointed by Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell for a two-year term expiring December 31, 2019. Senator Jim Talent is a national security leader who specializes in issues related to the Department of Defense. He has been active in Missouri and national public policy for over 25 years.

Senator Talent's public service began in 1984, when at the age of 28 he was elected to the Missouri House of Representatives where he served eight years, the last four as the Republican leader in the Missouri House.

In 1992, he was elected to the first of four terms in the U.S. House of Representatives where he represented Missouri's Second Congressional District. During his eight years in the U.S. House of Representatives, Talent co-authored the historic welfare reform bill, championed national security issues on the House Armed Services Committee, and enacted legislation to help revitalize distressed neighborhoods, both urban and rural. He was the Chairman of the House Small Business Committee from 1997-2001, where he worked on regulatory reform issues and on legislation to lower health care costs for small business people and their employees. Under Senator Talent’s leadership, the Small Business Committee became one of the most prolific and bi-partisan in the House of Representatives, passing numerous bills without a single dissenting vote.

In 2002, Missourians elected Talent to serve in the United States Senate where he worked with Republicans and Democrats to enact critical legislation for Missouri. He served on the Senate Armed Services, Energy and Natural Resources, and Agriculture Committees. Working with Oregon Democrat Ron Wyden, Senator Talent was successful in securing critical funding through construction bonding in the highway bill. He and Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) succeeded in passing the most comprehensive anti-methamphetamine bill ever enacted into law. Senator Talent was a leader on energy issues and was instrumental in the passage of the renewable fuel standard.

After leaving the Senate in 2007, Senator Talent joined The Heritage Foundation as a Distinguished Fellow specializing in military affairs and conservative solutions to poverty. In 2008, he served as Vice Chairman of the Commission on Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism. In 2010, he served on the independent panel that reviewed the Quadrennial Defense Review of the Department of Defense. He also served on the independent panel that reviewed the Quadrennial Defense Review of 2014. He also has been a member of the executive panel advising the Chief of Naval Operations. Senator Talent was the first national figure outside Massachusetts to endorse Governor Mitt Romney for president in 2007 and was Governor Romney’s senior policy advisor in both the 2008 and 2012 campaigns for president.

Senator Talent is an attorney and currently a Senior Fellow at the Bipartisan Policy Center and a Visiting Senior Fellow and Director, National Security 2020 Project, Marilyn Ware Center for Security Studies at the American Enterprise Institute. He earned his B.A. from Washington University in St. Louis and his J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School.
