2021 Taiwan-Netherlands Innovation Cooperation Conference – Compound Semiconductor

Invitation

We are pleased to invite you to the online edition of the “3^rd Netherlands-Taiwan Innovation Cooperation Conference on Compound Semiconductor” on Sep 23, 2021.

The development of 5G, automotive electronics, optical communications, and smart IoT applications has spurred on demand for new generation semiconductor technology such as compound semiconductors. Taiwan and the Netherlands are both active players in this field. For Taiwan, in March 2021 the “Taiwan Compound Semiconductor Technology Roadmap” was published and in April 2021 the “Taiwan Compound Semiconductor and Equipment Industry -Academic Consortium” was established. The Netherlands on the other hand, has its strengths in equipment, components, RF, and integrated photonics, which is heavily dependent on compound semiconductor.

This event aims to stimulate potential collaboration between Taiwan and the Netherlands through a dialogue among cluster organizations and key companies. With presentations on the ecosystems and the latest technology development, we hope to identify the main areas for future collaboration. We would be delighted to have you present at this webinar and to learn your thoughts and opinions

Date: Thursday 23 September 2021

Time: 1530-1715 TW Time | 0930-1115 NL Time

Location: Online (Registration required)
