Five Key Technology Forums to Kick off Online First from September
HSINCHU – July 26, 2021 – SEMI Taiwan announced today the main theme of SEMICON Taiwan 2021, which is “SEMICON Taiwan 2021 is a Journey: Spearheading Next-Generation Semiconductor Technologies.” In an effort to expand the scale of the exhibit, SEMI Taiwan will, starting September, hold five online forums focusing on key technologies; the exhibit is scheduled to be held in Q4 after the online forums. The online forums are open for registration starting today (July 26). Early bird discounts are available before the end of August.
“SEMICON Taiwan 2021 is a Journey. For us, this is the first time that we are holding an online technology forum in advance of the exhibit itself. This journey allows us to offer the most forward-looking platforms for communication within the semiconductor industry,” said Terry Tsao, Global Chief Marketing Officer and President of Taiwan, SEMI. “Our goal is ‘Forward as One.’ SEMI will continue to move forward with the semiconductor industry by providing professionals within the global supply chain a three-month long online and offline exhibition experience. The new experience is to let online forums go first and the physical exhibition comes second. We aim to provide the most internationalized and the only professional semiconductor exhibition platform in Taiwan, to promote technology exchange and development, and to position the semiconductor industry as a driver that spearheads the progress of industries in Taiwan.”
Online Forums on Five Major Technologies to Start off from September
SEMICON Taiwan 2021 recently announced the rescheduling of its physical exhibition. However, those who pay close attention to the development of the semiconductor industry still have an opportunity to explore the latest market trends and engage technical exchanges starting from September – SEMICON Taiwan 2021 will be opened with a series of online forums that span from September to December, and then comes the physical exhibition as the finale.
The online forums (see program-at-a-glance) starting from September will bring together industry heavyweight executives and speakers to discuss the latest hot topics and technology applications in the market now, including: power & opto semiconductor, smart manufacturing, ESG and sustainable manufacturing, smart MedTech, and cybersecurity:
- Power and Opto Semiconductor Week, 9/7-9/9, 2021: SEMI Taiwan will give you in-depth analyses on the competitive advantages of Taiwan’s next-generation semiconductors and have discussion on three main key technologies, including the applications and future trends of compound semiconductors in radio frequency (RF), power and opto semiconductors, while touching upon gallium nitride (GaN), silicon carbide (SiC), gallium arsenide (GaAs) and the industry trends driven by electric vehicles and 5G. It also marks the first time for the Hon Hai (Foxconn) Research Institute to be working with SEMI Taiwan to hold its ‘NExT Forum’ during the Power and Opto Semiconductor Week that will feature speakers from TSMC, WIN Semiconductors and Foxconn, as well as Nobel Prize winners.
- Smart Manufacturing Forum, 9/23-9/24, 2021: The topic SEMI Taiwan proposed here is how digital transformation via smart manufacturing. What’s happening about high-tech smart manufacturing in the world will be talked about, whereas how artificial intelligence (AI), 5G, edge and hybrid cloud, digital twin, and IT technology development and other applications are used in the industrial ecosystem to achieve digital transformation in businesses will also be discussed. The speakers are going to share some best practices and insights regarding resilient supply chains, enhancing cross-region/plant production efficiency, and high-tech smart factories, as well as how to adapt to a ‘new normal’ and the challenges coming with it.
- SEMI ESG and Sustainable Manufacturing Summit, 10/6-10/8, 2021: This is a ‘must join’ event centering on the most discussed issue now - high-tech and environmental sustainability plus ESG. SEMI will share the future roadmap and technological development in energy management, zero waste, net-zero emission, circular economy and green manufacturing.
- Smart MedTech Forum, to be held on 10/13, 2021: As the government, industry, academia and research institutes are coming to realize that ‘precision health’ will be the next big thing, SEMI Taiwan is holding this forum in the hope to strengthen the interaction between the technology and the healthcare industries, and accelerate the development of technology to make the ‘precision health’ dream come true. Not only emerging technologies and applications of artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and digital technology will be thoroughly discussed, we will also take a look at how microelectronics could be instrumental in a cross-sector cooperation model in healthcare, thereby creating a ‘cross-discipline and upgraded’ new ecosystem that is pursuing ‘precision preventive medicine and health promotion’.
- Cybersecurity Global Summit, 10/20-10/21, 2021: Responding to the trends of smart manufacturing and digital transformation, frequent hacking incidents, and the operational needs of the post-COVID ‘new normal’, many companies have been working tirelessly to improve their performance and ensure the digital transformation process nice and smooth, while making cybersecurity of the supply chain ecosystem their top priority. This summit will be joined by some of the most prominent speakers from the industry who will be talking about the trends of supply chain cybersecurity for high-tech manufacturing, global cybersecurity standards and frameworks, cybersecurity guidelines for business, and hacking and network security. You are more than welcome to take part in the discussion on the key industry cybersecurity governance strategies.

About SEMI
SEMI connects more than 2,400 member companies and 1.3 million professionals worldwide to advance the technology and business of electronics design and manufacturing. SEMI members are responsible for the innovations in materials, design, equipment, software, devices, and services that enable smarter, faster, more powerful, and more affordable electronic products. Since 1970, SEMI has built connections that have helped its members prosper, create new markets, and address common industry challenges together. In addition to its rich experiences in the microelectronics industry chain, SEMI established SEMI Energy in 2008, a cross-discipline exchange platform for the industry, government, academia, and research institutes that works with the only and the most comprehensive renewable energy ecosystem in Taiwan (three green energy supply chains - solar PV, wind power, smart energy storage and grid included), while facilitating green energy policy discussion and technology exchanges between the government and industry. SEMI also launched an energy industry committee that focuses on policy advocacy, and brings together plenty of opinion leaders through regular meetings annually to make sure members in the industry can communicate and cooperate closely to achieve the sustainable development goals. In these two years, in response to the government's energy policy, the committee has taken its services even further to hydrogen power and fuel cells, green finance and other renewable energy fields, committed to building Taiwan's largest renewable energy exchange platform for the industry, government, academia, and research institutes, thereby taking Taiwan's renewable energy industry to the next level.
