Semicon Taiwan, an annual international semiconductor exhibition, would bring leaders from the world’s top technology firms to Taipei this year, the event organizer said.

The CEO Summit is to feature nine global leaders from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電), ASE Technology Holding Co (ASE, 日月光投控), Applied Materials Inc, Google, Samsung Electronics Co, SK Hynix Inc, Microsoft Corp, Interuniversity Microelectronic Centre and Marvell Technology Group Ltd, SEMI said in a news release last week.

The top executives would delve into how semiconductors are positioned as the driving force behind global technological innovation amid the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, the organizer said.

Among them, Samsung Electronics memory business head Lee Jung-bae and SK Hynix president Justin Kim are to deliver keynote speeches during the summit’s opening on Wednesday.

Lee would share his perspectives on the memory business in his keynote titled “Leaping Into the Future Through Memory Technology Innovation,” while Kim would discuss the AI memory trend, the organizer said.

This year’s event would also feature an AI Chip Fireside Chat, which would focus on semiconductor technology, cross-industry collaboration and future industry dynamics.

The discussions, which would be moderated by ASE chief operating officer Tien Wu (吳田玉) with TSMC, Samsung and Google executives participating, would include how semiconductors are driving global economic growth through AI, as well as the technical challenges and opportunities in chips, algorithms, memory, software, bandwidth, power consumption and system integration, it added.

The forums would feature more than 200 global semiconductor industry leaders, the organizer said.

The organizers expect the gathering to connect experts across various fields to explore how semiconductors would be the driving force behind global technological innovation in the era of AI.

Semicon Taiwan would feature 3,700 booths from more than 1,100 exhibitors from home and abroad, as well as more than 20 international forums, the organizer said.

Twelve countries, including Germany, the UK and the Czech Republic, plan to set up special pavilions at this year’s event, it said, adding that the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) would also set up a US pavilion for the first time this year.

The annual event is to take place from Wednesday to Friday at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center’s halls 1 and 2. It is expected to attract more than 85,000 visitors, the organizer said.
