Exploring Semiconductor Innovation Beyond Boundaries... 'Semicon Korea 2024' to be Held in January Next Year

SiC Power Semiconductor and Startup Summit
to be Held for the First Time at Semicon Korea Next Year

'Semicon Korea 2024,' which presents industry trends and offers new business opportunities in the evolving global semiconductor manufacturing environment, will be held from January 31 to February 2 next year at COEX, Seoul. Semicon Korea is an annual event hosted by the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI), with domestic and international semiconductor materials and equipment companies participating every year.

This year's event theme is 'Innovation Beyond Boundaries.' With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, technological collaboration and innovation that transcend traditional boundaries?from chip design to manufacturing processes and supply chains?will be discussed.

This year, approximately 500 companies will participate. A total of 2,100 booths will be set up, allowing attendees to experience new semiconductor manufacturing technologies and services. During the event, more than 30 conferences will be held. Around 200 semiconductor experts will participate as speakers, with major companies such as SK Hynix, Merck, and Elian delivering keynote speeches.

The semiconductor manufacturing process will be divided into six sections to discuss advanced semiconductor manufacturing technologies through the 'STS (SEMI Technology Symposium),' as well as the MI Forum, Test Forum, Smart Manufacturing Forum, and Silicon Carbide (SiC) Power Semiconductor Summit. The SiC Power Semiconductor Summit is being held for the first time this year due to the growing importance of low power consumption alongside the advancement of cutting-edge applications.

The semiconductor investment briefing sessions held during the event will be conducted on a scale more than twice as large as before. The U.S. semiconductor investment briefing will provide detailed explanations of the U.S. Chips Act and introduce semiconductor support policies by four U.S. states (New York, Arizona, Indiana, Texas) that are participating.

Additionally, the 'Startup Summit,' a program that offers business matching opportunities between startups and venture capital firms to discover and nurture promising domestic semiconductor companies, will be held for the first time. Participants in this program include ▲Samsung Venture Investment ▲Applied Ventures ▲SK Hynix ▲LG Technology Ventures ▲M Ventures ▲UDC Ventures ▲TEL Venture Capital.
