SUMMARY:Global Semiconductor Alliance’s 2024 International Semiconductor Conference
DESCRIPTION:For the first time in more than a decade a major  international semiconductor conference is coming  to London\, and it is all happening on March 13th and 14th\, in partnership with the UK Government’s Department for Science\, Innovation & Technology (DSIT) to jointly explore the impact of semiconductor innovation in anticipation to a NetZero economy. \nThis is a seminal moment for the UK semiconductor strategy. It needs to be a success\, so that the UK Government can support the Global Semiconductor Alliance to relentlessly repeat it. \n\nCome to the conference to hear the opening address from the Minister for Tech and the Digital Economy\, Saqib Bhatti\, who will reveal the way ahead for UK semiconductors. A strategy that has been defined by a dedicated team of more than 20 civil servants working on semiconductor policy intervention daily. This has never happened before in UK semiconductors.\nCome to the conference to see how women are shaping the future of leadership in our industry.\nCome to the conference to immerse yourself in the world of “new new” semiconductor startups. Hear the growth stage investors perspective about UK opportunities\, hear about the intellectual property benefits and challenges for the UK and hear about the fundamental challenges in attracting investment into early-stage semiconductor startups.
