The next decade will see industries transformed by digitalisation, automation, 6G connectivity, AI, quantum and Net Zero. Hear how the semiconductor industry is set to double in size as it drives these markets and where UK companies can gain a share of the opportunity.

Alongside the main conference, an operations and technology track, and the NMI exhibition will showcase the latest innovations from across the semiconductor value chain, providing a unique networking opportunity to learn from peers and create valuable business connections. The poster session returns this year, to highlight the best of UK research innovation.

Transformative end markets are playing a critical role in driving growth within the semiconductor industry. These markets, which include areas such as artificial intelligence, automotive technology, and the Internet of Things, are creating unprecedented demand for advanced semiconductor solutions. This growing demand is expected to contribute significantly to the next trillion dollars in semiconductor revenue.

As industries embrace electrification and energy systems become smarter, how will wide bandgap devices and the wider power electronics industry rise to the challenge? Whilst semiconductor fabs supply the key components for NetZero, how can the industry itself become sustainable; meeting NetZero targets for 2050 and removing harmful chemicals from the fab line?

From AI and data centres to novel low power compute, quantum and photonics, digital transformation will reshape society and global markets. Hear how new semiconductor materials and devices are the driving force behind this revolution.

Hear how fabs are embracing new technologies and materials like heterogeneous integration, new substrates and wider bandgap devices.

Hear from experts in the field as they explore contemporary approaches to get the best performance from the fab, whilst also integrating new materials and processes

.

The already complex semiconductor supply chain is changing due to material and process diversity, heterogeneous system design, smart automation and geo-politics. Whether fabless, IDM or foundry, silicon, compound or thin-film, traditional boundaries are blurring as we move from design to lab to fab.
Delivering a full system solution into the end market is increasingly important and is changing the traditional semiconductor business model, driving product innovation and new global partnerships.
