From future skills to personal journeys — these three sessions explore how we can build the next generation of chip talent together.
Through real stories, live interaction and cross-regional collaboration, we uncover what the semiconductor industry of tomorrow truly needs: new skills, new mindsets, and new ways of learning.

Join inspiring speakers from companies, education and government as we move from plans to practice — showcasing national initiatives, hands-on examples and the people behind them.

Discover how you can connect, contribute and grow: whether you’re a student stepping into the field, a company shaping talent pathways, or a region driving innovation.

Because the future of semicon is not just about technology, it’s about people.
