The major semiconductor event of the region, SEMICON India 2024, got underway today at the India Exposition Mart Ltd. (IEML) in Greater Noida with a grand opening officiated by Hon. Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
SEMICON India 2024 is organized by SEMI in collaboration with Messe München India, MeitY, India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), and Digital India, highlighting India’s rise to prominence in the semiconductor industry worldwide.
Leading international semiconductor businesses will exhibit at SEMICON India 2024 and give presentations on important issues such as supply chain reorganization, talent shortages, and sustainability issues.
SEMI formally began its Workforce Development Program in India with a recent workshop on Semiconductor Manufacturing, held in conjunction with ESSCI at IIT Delhi. This was part of SEMI’s continuous efforts to drive India’s semiconductor industry.
The program places a strong emphasis on working in tandem with academic institutions to co-develop skill development programs and establish specific curriculum for semiconductor industry design professions.
By addressing the worldwide shortage of talent in the semiconductor industry, the initiative intends to provide India’s strong engineering pipeline with the skills required to be employable in the rapidly expanding field.
Additional SEMI programs, such Sustainability and Smart Manufacturing, are offered by SEMICON India to promote industry growth.
These programs also assist the Government of India and the ISM’s supportive regulatory policies, and they facilitate international investments that bolster India’s standing in the market.
Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Assam, Karnataka, Odisha, and Tamil Nadu representatives will discuss their vision and policies aimed at drawing major investments and promoting growth, underscoring India’s shared goal of being a major force in the world semiconductor market.
During his speech, Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi underlined the importance of the semiconductor industry to India’s technical progress and reiterated the government’s resolve to support the industry’s growth.
SEMICON India 2024, co-located with electronica India and productronica India, features over 250 exhibitors, of which over 140 are international exhibitors, including global leaders such as SEMI, NXP, Foxconn, PSMC, Renesas, Tata Electronics, CG Power, Applied Materials and Cadence.
Attendees at SEMICON India 2024 will explore innovations in smart manufacturing, supply chain management, sustainability, and workforce development during the three-day event.
