Registrations are open.
In parallel with Productronica, SEMICON Europa 2023 will feature an exhibition, strategic programs, technical sessions and networking opportunities for all participants. From sessions specifically focused on recruiting new talent to the opportunity to connect with initiatives that support young professionals entering the industry, such as SEMI University, the event will open up new opportunities for the younger generation looking to break into the semiconductor industry.
“The number of vacancies in the semiconductor sector in Europe is increasing rapidly,” said Laith Altimime, President of SEMI Europe. “Experts at SEMICON Europa will highlight initiatives such as the Skills Pact and METIS4Skills to close the skills gap in industry and strengthen Europe’s competitiveness. »
Titled “Cultivating the Workforce of Tomorrow”, the Future of Work session will focus on the importance of inclusive leadership in building a diverse and sustainable workforce. This session will also address pressing industry issues, such as the global talent shortage and the critical need to develop tomorrow’s industry leaders while onboarding new talent. Youth participants will have the opportunity to take advantage of a networking event to make meaningful connections and advance their careers in the semiconductor industry.
The SEMICON Europa 20 Under 30 recognition program will also be announced at the event. This award recognizes the industry’s brightest young leaders who have achieved successful careers in the microelectronics supply chain (engineering, sales/marketing and R&D). We are looking for rising stars who are making a significant difference in the industry and who have demonstrated exceptional leadership qualities, a commitment to success, community involvement and innovation through collaboration.
The European premiere of the documentary Chip In will take place at SEMICON Europa 2023. This film features three young adults in their twenties who explore careers in microelectronics. Following the screening, a networking breakfast will allow young professionals to connect with industry experts.
