Fwd: The 4th Annual SemiX Summit - Registrations are open now
We are pleased to announce
Click the button to grab your spot: Register Now
This Summit is especially meaningful for us as it marks the year SemiX transforms from a Research Centre into an Academic Centre
Building on the success of the first three editions, and incorporating valuable feedback from past participants, we have redesigned the Summit program to deliver an even richer experience for students, researchers, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals.
The key highlights of the 4th summit include:
1. For the first time, we dedicate one day to students to learn the fundamentals of the semiconductor industry including applications, technologies, entrepreneurship, and career pathways they could potentially explore in the space.
2. Focus on two key application segments (Power and Artificial Intelligence) to understand their markets, system requirements, and semiconductor technologies from design to manufacturing.
3. In his keynote address, Raj Nair (SVP, Tata Electronics), will share the execution story of the Tata Fab at Dholera and his insights on the enabling ecosystem and talent for the success of Tata’s plans.
4. An Entrepreneurship track that will focus on (among other aspects) pre-incubation and how SemiX supports current and future entrepreneurs.
5. A post-summit day for Special Interest Groups to dive deeper into exciting topics in semiconductors.
The 4th Annual SemiX Summit will continue our tradition of fostering learning, collaboration, and meaningful networking across the semiconductor value chain. We look forward to welcoming you to IIT Bombay!
Come, let us Realize India's Semiconductor Mission. Together!
