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.
