Internet of Things (IoT) Startup Showcase @ SEMICON West!

It’s hard to believe that SEMICON West is upon us once again at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. This is the premier semiconductor conference for cutting-edge equipment, processes, and materials, to solutions to today’s design and manufacturing challenges. Remember, it’s not what you know (because we all know everything already), it’s who you know and SEMICON West connects you to the people, products, and technologies advancing the future of microelectronics! Even if you are familiar with SEMICON West you may want to visit the FAQ for a refresher.

This year one of my favorite topics will be explored during anInternet of Things (IoT) Startup Showcase. If you do attend please introduce yourself, it would be a pleasure to meet you! I will be wearing my trademark blue SemiWiki polo shirt. It’s just like the Steve Jobs turtleneck thing only different.

This Session brought to you by:
With 30 billion connected devices expected by 2020, the Internet of Things (IoT) is changing the way we work and live. But in order for the IoT to spring to life, innovations at the core technology level are essential. SKTA Innopartners Innovation Accelerator will showcase six innovative new IoT technology startups with onstage presentations covering four target market segments including; semiconductor and systems, telecom, enterprise/datacenter solutions, smart device related, and healthcare devices/bioinformatics. A networking “meet and greet” with industry executives and VCs will also precede the session.

SK telecom Americas is the business development and venture capital arm of SK telecom, Korea’s largest wireless operator and a global technology leader, and has worked with some of the brightest minds in VC and angel investing – and some of the biggest technology companies in Silicon Valley – to design a novel and new funding model.

SEMICON West is the flagship annual event for the global microelectronics industry. It is the premier event for the display of new products and technologies for microelectronics design and manufacturing, featuring technologies from across the microelectronics supply chain, from electronic design automation, to device fabrication (wafer processing), to final manufacturing (assembly, packaging, and test). More than semiconductors, SEMICON West is also showcase for emerging markets and technologies born from the microelectronics industry, including micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), photovoltaics (PV), flexible electronics and displays, nano-electronics, solid state lighting (LEDs), and related technologies.
