READY, SET, RAMP!

Building upon last year’s theme “Ready, Set, Ramp? “ of readiness and anticipation, this year marks a bold declaration of action and confidence as we propel forward with vigor and purpose.

“Ready, Set, Ramp! serves as a call to action for industry stakeholders to navigate these uncharted waters with agility and strategic vision.
It replaces the question marks of uncertainty with the exclamation points of determination and readiness!

As the semiconductor industry accelerates towards the monumental trillion-dollar milestone, it’s crucial to explore strategies for coping with the rapid acceleration. Understanding and maneuvering through the dynamic landscape becomes paramount for sustained prosperity.

ISS delves into the multifaceted dimensions of this journey, encompassing technological innovations, burgeoning demand, market diversification, global integration, R&D investments, workforce shortage, and sustainable practices. Addressing challenges and harnessing opportunities necessitates a holistic approach, requiring collaborative efforts from industry stakeholders, governments, and research institutions.

• What are the demands and challenges inherent in this accelerated growth?
• How is the industry allocating resources to facilitate this ramp-up?
• How do we set the stage for all-time highs in semiconductor revenue and Wafer Fabrication Equipment (WFE) Investment?
• Exploring the impact of emerging technologies and market diversification on the ramp-up trajectory.
• Accelerated computing powering a new industrial revolution–Are we prepared?
• What collaborative efforts and partnerships are necessary to overcome challenges and capitalize on opportunities as we surge toward the trillion-dollar milestone?
