As the Capital Region’s exports of manufactured computer and electronic products climb to record highs, the Center for Economic Growth (CEG) today returned to Europe’s largest microelectronics event to build on that momentum. At SEMICON Europa, the Capital Region’s economic development organization will participate in a new industry executive panel discussion focusing on international partnerships and opportunities for semiconductor growth and expansion in New York State.
SEMICON Europa Panel
The three-day conference started today in Munich, Germany. CEG President and CEO, Andrew Kennedy, will participate in the panel organized by NY Loves Nanotech on Wednesday, November 15. The panel will also feature Michael Liehr Ph.D. (SUNY Polytechnic Institute), Adam Stover (Edwards), Jens Drews (GLOBALFOUNDRIES), and Peter Csatary (M+W Group).
“With GLOBALFOUNDRIES moving to full-scale production and our universities spending more than $295 million on materials and metallurgical R&D, we’re going to SEMICON Europa to let the industry know the Capital Region is not only manufacturing the products it wants for advanced electronic devices, but we also have the workforce and innovation to do it better than anyone else,” said Kennedy. “We’re thrilled to meet our Silicon Europe partners again at SEMICON Europa and continue our dialogue on forging new partnerships and opportunities within the global semiconductor industry.”
In addition to the panel, CEG will represent the Capital Region in the NY Loves Nanotech booth at the tradeshow, promoting the state’s workforce, R&D and available sites at the Luther Forest Technology Campus.
