Semi Ventures

It's such honour to collaborate with Catalonia Trade & Investment and Barcelona & Partners to host Semi Impact Forum Catalonia Chapter yesterday in Barcelona. Big shout out to all the hard work from Roger Costa Carolina Angelini Josh Liu and Thomas Wu

Following a successful Semi Impact Forum during London Tech Week, we are excited to announce that we are now expanding the initiative with regional Semi Impact Forums in key, emerging semiconductor clusters. We’re thrilled to introduce Semi Impact Forum 2024 in Brno, Czech Republic! 🇨🇿 For those unfamiliar, TSMC’s new foundry in Dresden, Germany is only a few hours’ drive from Brno, making this location strategically significant. The Czech Republic has ambitious plans to capitalise on this proximity and establish itself as a major player in the evolving European semiconductor ecosystem. The country has been actively working alongside Taiwan and National Applied Research Laboratories, NARLabs to advance these efforts. The forum will bring together senior executives from the Czech National Semiconductor Cluster, Taiwan’s NARLabs—the leading semiconductor research institute in Taiwan—and other key industry stakeholders. We are also pleased to welcome Codasip, as well as onsemi, which recently announced a $2 billion investment in its Czech fab, alongside some of the most innovative semiconductor start-ups from both the Czech Republic and Taiwan. 🇹🇼🇨🇿🤝 If you’re interested, or have contacts in the region, we would love to see you there. Tickets are limited, so don’t miss out!

Supported by the National Applied Research Laboratories, NARLabs, National Science and Technology Council, Taiwan, British Office Taipei, techUK and Tech London Advocates & Global Tech Advocates, the Semi Impact Forum 2024 is a premier event that unites corporates, investors, policymakers, and innovators in the semiconductor industry. It will be hosted at the Royal Society on the 14th of June (Friday) as part of the London Tech Week fringe event. This unique forum promises to foster deep, collaborative discussions on the future of semiconductors and their critical role in shaping advanced technologies. Our special guest, Professor Konrad Young, former R&D Director at TSMC, will lead dialogues exploring the global semiconductor landscape, Europe and Taiwan’s pivotal roles, and the emerging innovations driven by startups. To support startups and innovators, we will also have a reverse pitching session featuring top investors (Taiwan: MediaTek Ventures, UMC Capital; UK: Bloc Ventures Lunar Ventures) and R&D institutions (imec, Taiwan NARLabs Compound Semiconductor Applications (CSA) Catapult ) to tell you how they can help! We have prepared limitd 75% passes for semiconductor innovators. Please obtain the limited passes (value £299) on the Semi Impact Forum website or Eventbrite page using the promo code (SEMIIMPACT75OFF). 受台灣半導體研究中心、英國在台辦事處、techUK 和 GlobalTechAdvocate 的支持，Semi Impact Forum 2024 是一個頂級盛會，匯聚了半導體行業的企業、投資者、政策制定者和創新者。該論壇將於六月十四日（星期五）在倫敦皇家學會舉行，作為倫敦科技週的一部分。 這個獨特的論壇將促進關於半導體未來及其在先進技術中關鍵作用的深入合作討論。我們的特別嘉賓、前台積電研發總監楊光磊教授，將帶領討論全球半導體格局、歐洲和台灣的關鍵角色，以及由新創企業驅動的新興創新。為了支持新創企業和創新者，我們還將舉辦一場Reverse Pitching，邀請頂尖投資者（台灣：聯發科創投、聯電創投；英國：Bloc Ventures、Lunar Ventures）和研發機構（IMEC、台灣國研院）告訴您他們如何提供幫助！ Icon為這次活動的官方傳播夥伴,特別有為英國台商會以及青商會準備的VIP Passes, 請半導體業界或對半導體產業有興趣的各位,一起共襄盛舉。限量25折VIP Passes, 請到www.semiimpact.com 網站訂票, (promo code: SEMIIMPACT75OFF)。 https://lnkd.in/eUUbTmkY
