It is my pleasure to inform you that SEMICON Taiwan Hybrid will open next week from Sep. 23 (Wed.) – 25 (Fri), which will be the first SEMICON that offers both in-show and virtual experiences at the same time. Even though we cannot meet in person this time due to COVID-19, I would like to invite you to join us virtually on the online platform. \
This year, SEMICON Taiwan Hybrid brings together 550 exhibitors across 2,000 booths on the fairground, featuring 15 theme pavilions, innovation zones, and 19 international forums. The key highlights of this year will be innovations in Smart Manufacturing Taiwan, Compound Semiconductor Innovation Zone, and Heterogeneous Integration, which will showcase new applications including smart glasses, drones, and electric cars.
On the virtual platform, beside the virtual booths, we created four special pavilions, a media center, and Explore SEMI: A 360 panorama view to enhance the visitor experience. To integrate the in-show and the virtual experiences, we will live stream seven forums, the opening ceremony, and the gala dinner. Furthermore, there will be live reporting clips to show online visitors different aspects of the fairground. In the networking lounge, chat rooms on different topics are created to encourage discussion. This platform will stay accessible for 1 month, until Oct. 23.
