Bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and experts, the forum will delve into the latest advancements in semiconductor technology and explore opportunities for localization in Saudi Arabia. Semiconductors are integral components of modern electronic devices and play a crucial role across various sectors, including telecommunications, computing, automotive, and aerospace. With the demand for semiconductors projected to continue surging, Saudi Arabia is well-positioned to leverage this growth by developing a robust domestic semiconductor industry. Localization of semiconductor technologies is essential to Saudi Arabia for several reasons. Firstly, it would decrease the country's reliance on semiconductor imports, making the economy more resilient to potential supply chain disruptions. Additionally, it would create new employment opportunities for Saudi citizens and aid in transferring critical semiconductor technologies to Saudi Arabia, thus bolstering the country's technological capabilities. The successful Future of Semiconductor Forum events held in 2023 and 2022 brought together various stakeholders to discuss the semiconductor industry's future in Saudi Arabia. These forums sparked significant interest in the potential for localization of semiconductor technologies in the country and helped establish a solid foundation for the Future of Semiconductor Forum 2024. * WHERE The Garage, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia * WHEN 5th and 6th June 2024 Register > Connecting leaders for semiconductor localization to advance the digital > economy, industry, and energy sectors of Saudi Arabia. ABOUT FORUM OBJECTIVE Semiconductor technology is the physical foundation of the third and fourth Industrial Revolutions. It is crucial for numerous applications, including energy, computing, data storage, sensors, communication, lighting, and photovoltaics. Given the global strategic importance of semiconductor technologies and emerging opportunities for transformative impacts in the Middle East. KACST (King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology) and KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) will jointly organize the 3rd Future of Semiconductors Forum. The primary focus of this forum is to discuss the localization of e-chips and strengthen the digital economy sector of Saudi Arabia.
