GSA Leadership - GSA - Global Semiconductor Alliance

A PLATFORM FOR GLOBAL COLLABORATION

GSA is Where Leaders Meet to establish an efficient, profitable and sustainable semiconductor and high technology global ecosystem encompassing semiconductors, software, solutions, systems and services. We are a leading industry organization that provides a unique neutral platform for collaboration, where global executives interface and innovate with peers, partners and customers to accelerate industry growth and maximize return on invested and intellectual capital.

The GSA offers a unique, efficient and strategic platform for thought-leadership across a broad array of semiconductor technologies and markets through curated regional and global executive and technical forums, leadership networking events, workshops and working groups. These gatherings allow our members to demonstrate thought leadership, engage in thought exchange with peers or simply remain up to date on topical issues for the industry. In addition, they provide opportunities to share best practices and gain precious visibility opportunities. GSA members also have access to a repository of data and information including financial reports and resources, company data, surveys and technology and market reports. Lastly, the critical importance and global economic impact of the semiconductor industry on our society is often underappreciated by the general public. For this reason, the GSA launched a Semis Matter initiative which houses the most comprehensive study of the semiconductor industry and promotes its $7 trillion contribution to the global economy and its value to humanity.
