SEMI Europe announces the opening for the nominations for the annual Industry Leader in Diversity and Inclusion Award.

Since 2019, SEMI Europe awards the Industry Leader in Diversity and Inclusion to an organization within the European semiconductor industry that excels and champions diversity, equity, and inclusion practices.

The Industry Leader in Diversity and Inclusion Award recognizes these initiatives with the aim of inspiring others to follow.
