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.
How can we ensure that the Netherlands continues to have the talent needed to strengthen the entire semiconductor value chain?
In this first session, we explore how technology and automation are transforming roles across the semiconductor ecosystem — and what companies, education partners and government must do today to build the talent base of tomorrow.
