This year’s event theme is 'Innovation Beyond Boundaries.' Various event programs will be held in line with this theme. At more than 30 conferences during SEMICON Korea, around 200 semiconductor experts will participate as speakers, addressing industry issues such as the latest semiconductor manufacturing technologies, sustainability, and smart manufacturing in response to advanced industrial development.

The keynote speeches on the first day of the event will be delivered by four individuals: Kim Chun-hwan, Vice President of SK Hynix; Anand Nambiar, Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) of Merck Electronics; Shin Lundy Elyan, Global Vice President of Sales; and Ha Jung-woo, Head of the AI Innovation Center at Naver Cloud. Additionally, a 'Supplier Summit Program (SSP)' supporting the global expansion of domestic MPE companies will be held.

A SEMI official stated, "We hope SEMICON Korea will serve as an opportunity to widely promote the status of South Korea’s semiconductor industry, which plays a pivotal role in the global semiconductor sector," adding, "We will continue to provide new business opportunities for domestic MPE companies through various programs such as SEMICON Korea."
