Terry Tsao, Global Chief Marketing Officer and President of Taiwan at SEMI, commented: “Global semiconductor equipment shipments hit US$32 billion in [the first quarter of] 2025, up by 21% year on year and driven by strong demand for AI, cloud, high-performance computing, and edge applications.”
“However, despite robust growth, supply chain and geopolitical challenges remain. As a crucial global semiconductor hub, Taiwan is fully committed to pushing forward with new technologies and standards. SEMICON Taiwan’s theme reflects our drive to foster innovation and strengthen global partnerships to build a resilient and highly connected industry ecosystem,” Tsao added,
Record attendance expected
The event is on track to break its annual attendance records. Over 100,000 visitors and more than 1,100 companies and industry partners from 56 countries are expected to register for the event. Attendees will come together to explore the latest semiconductor industry trends, exchange technical knowledge, and foster cross-border collaboration. A record 17 Country Pavilions will provide additional opportunities for industry dialogue and partnerships.
Cutting-edge Technologies
Fueled by soaring AI and high-performance computing demand, the semiconductor industry is advancing chip architectures beyond the nanometer scale and driving greater system integration and miniaturization in packaging. The event will spotlight breakthroughs in advanced manufacturing and technologies like 3D integrated circuits, fan-out panel-level packaging, silicon photonics, memory innovation, and more.
Focus on geostrategy, talent development, sustainability
In response to global supply chain restructuring and geopolitical challenges, this year’s forum will include dedicated sessions that will address supply chain resilience and foster global collaboration. In addition, the event will feature SEMI’s signature Workforce Development Pavilion, the 20 Under 40 and Tech Master Forums, and hands-on activities to inspire future industry talent.
