About the event

Semicon Taiwan is an annual event that serves as a major platform for the semiconductor industry in Taiwan and the broader Asia-Pacific region. SemiconTaiwan is part of the global SEMICON series of events organized by SEMI, a global industry association representing companies in the electronics manufacturing and design supply chain.

A global semicon ecosystem in the Netherlands

As the inventors of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, the Dutch have long been world leaders in semiconductor technology. The country is also an enabler of Moore’s law with a leading lithography industry that has been pushing the boundaries of this technology. In addition, the Netherlands has a long history in semiconductor manufacturing resulting into a diverse semiconductor ecosystem, home to many semiconductor companies active in every part of the value chain.

Dutch universities, knowledge institutes and companies are leaders in the field of innovation serving as a magnet for global business investments, groundbreaking research and talent. International companies like Gallium Semiconductor, Odyssey Technical Solutions and Mini-Circuits have already found a place to accelerate their business in the Dutch high-tech ecosystem.
