Semiconductor Supply Chain Transformation

The semiconductor supply chain stands at a critical inflection point, where past practices can no longer keep pace with the accelerating demands of today’s technology. Vanessa will explore the transformative changes reshaping the industry—from the impact of supply chain disruption shifts and emerging technology trends to the urgent need for supply chain resilience and diversification. As global supply and demand dynamics evolve, companies face both unprecedented challenges and extraordinary opportunities to redefine how semiconductors are sourced, manufactured, and delivered. This inflection point marks not just a period of change, but the unfolding of a new era for the semiconductor industry.
