Registration for the Global Executive Summit is closed. Please contact Heidi Hoffman at [email protected] with any questions.
SEMI Japan has included the Okura Hotel and 3 other hotels convenient to the Okura in the Hotel Block for SEMICON Japan - taking place December 17-19 at Tokyo Big Sight. View the hotels and rates HERE.
Building on the foundational work of the SEMI Sustainability Climate Consortium and the 2025 Global Climate Summit Workshops (GCSW), this closed-door summit is designed to shift our industry from alignment to action. We are convening a select group of key Executive decision makers & senior leaders from fabs, fabless companies, hyperscalers, and key suppliers and energy partners to:
- Showcase and accelerate progress on priority climate initiatives: Abatement, Gas Substitution, Green Materials, and Energy
- Define clear deliverables and next-phase commitments that unlock scale and momentum
- Strengthen executive collaboration to remove barriers, share ownership, and drive measurable results
This Summit is not about what we could do — it’s about what we will do, and who will lead.
Click here for the Executive Briefing outlining the event objectives, and the action pathways and methods of engagement for all attendees. Plan ahead on how presence can shape outcomes that accelerate our industry's decarbonization.

Coffee & Registration
GES Opening
Fireside Chat: Bending the Curve of Emissions Through Industry Collaboration
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?
Spotlight: AMD on the role of Silicon Design for Energy Efficiency
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.
End-User Panel: The Decarbonization Imperative
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.

Coffee & Networking
Day 2 Opening
Opening remarks will summarize Day 1 and preview Day 2.
TSMC Keynote
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.
Break
Priority Initiative: Gas Substitution
Opening Remarks
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
Equipment Perspective: Scaling Low-GWP Gas Substitution
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
imec’s Gas Assessment Platform for Sustainability (GAPS)
