SEMICON Europa 2025: Global Collaborations for European Economic Resilience

SEMICON Europa 2025, a semiconductor conference in Munich, will focus on global collaborations for European economic resilience. The event will celebrate its 50th anniversary and highlight innovations in sustainability, mobility, materials, packaging, and workforce development. Industry leaders will discuss strategies and partnerships shaping the future of Europe's microelectronics industry.

SEMICON Europa 2025, set to take place in Munich from November 18-21, will mark the 50th anniversary of the event, celebrating the advancements in Europe's semiconductor ecosystem. The conference, co-located with productronica, aims to strengthen Europe’s position in the global semiconductor landscape through global collaborations [1].

The event's theme, "Global Collaborations for European Economic Resilience," will focus on the latest innovations and trends in sustainability, mobility, materials, packaging, fab management, and workforce development. Laith Altimime, President of SEMI Europe, emphasizes the importance of global collaboration for economic resilience and sustainable growth [1].

The CxO Summit, a key event, will gather influential leaders from Europe’s semiconductor powerhouses to discuss strategies and partnerships shaping the future of the microelectronics industry. High-level executives from companies such as Arm France, Comet, European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (ESMC), and STMicroelectronics will share insights on Europe's microelectronics ecosystem [1].

Another significant focus of the conference will be the ITF Chip into the Future - Powered by imec. This session will explore how EU Chips Act initiatives like the NanoIC project are turning industry innovations into real economic and societal impact. The program will examine how semiconductor breakthroughs, such as advanced logic nodes, 3D integration, and integrated photonics, will affect various application domains [1].

The conference will also feature sessions on electrification and power semiconductors, manufacturing excellence, and the automotive industry. Additionally, there will be innovation showcases, highlighting Ireland’s journey as a semiconductor hub and the emergence of Pomerania as a rising semiconductor hub [1].

SEMI Europa 2025 will also address geopolitical tensions and their impact on the global semiconductor supply chain, as well as the need for a skilled and diverse workforce to power future industry breakthroughs. The event will provide a platform for industry stakeholders to connect, discuss, and explore new business partnerships [1].
