Shanghai, China — More than 70,000 members of the electronics manufacturing industry are expect- ed to descend upon Shanghai for SEMICON China 2018. To be held March 14-16 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), the exhibition will bring together top executives and technologists in six exhibition halls, the most ever in the event’s 30-year history. Key focus areas include smart automotive and smart manufacturing, green tech, advanced technology, and power and compound semiconductors. Staged in conjunction with


SEMICON China, CSTIC 2018 has ranked among the largest and most comprehensive annual semiconduc- tor technology conferences in China since 2000. March 11 and 12, CSTIC will include nine symposiums cover-

up to 20 percent. Exoskeletons are also seeing


strong growth. These robot suits enable industrial workers to stay fit and healthy and provide ergonomic support for heavy manual labor. Forerunners in this area include Swiss startup Noonee, Laevo and the EU-funded SPEXOR and Robo-Mate projects. The sales value of professional


service robots worldwide was $4.67 billion in 2016. Strong growth opens the door to the development of a host of enabling technologies, including software solutions, the current goal of the EU-funded RobMoSys project. It also throws into sharp focus the need for effective human-robot inter- action, particularly as service robots for personal and domestic use gain popularity. More than 42 million con- sumer robots are expected to enter our homes before the end of the decade, according to IFR estimates. Contact: Messe München

Google and now CEO of Jigsaw, Jared Cohen. Technology is reshaping nearly


every aspect of our lives, especially business, communications, enter- tainment, and politics. Named one of TIME magazine’s “100 Most Influential People,” Cohen has spent his career using technology to solve seemingly intractable problems. After studying at Stanford and


Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, Cohen became the youngest person to serve on the U.S. State Department’s poli- cy planning staff. In 2010, he was recruited by Google’s then-CEO Eric Schmidt, whom Cohen currently advises, to create Google Ideas. The influential think tank expanded to become the technology incubator now known as Jigsaw and is housed in Google’s parent company, Alphabet. Contact: IPC, 3000 Lakeside

ing all aspects of semiconductor tech- nology, with a focus on manufactur- ing and advanced technology. SEMICON China will also


include the SIIP tech innovation and investment forum. SIIP is a key international platform for semicon- ductor industry investment in China. Informed by China’s IC policy to fund key semiconductor sectors, leaders of China’s national IC fund and municipal IC funds will join leaders from global investment insti- tutions to discuss opportunities in semiconductor investment and new applications. A smart manufacturing forum will address automation, product


tractability, cost and cycle time reduc- tion, enhancements in productivity and yield, and efficiency improve- ments in front- and back-end factories. With more than 10 fabs now


under construction in China, the country’s semiconductor industry is entering a stage of rapid growth. In a green high-tech facility forum, green tech leaders will discuss how China can improve factory design and con- struction, optimize energy efficiency of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, enhance machine plat- form stability, manage chemicals and gas, treat wastewater, and improve risk management. SEMICON China will also

showcase three themed pavilions. At the IC manufacturing pavilion visi- tors will see products, technologies and manufacturing solutions focused on serving China’s fabless IC com- munity, from design to final manu- facturing. The LED and sapphire pavilion will show how China has become the world’s largest sapphire manufacturing center. The ICMTIA pavilion will showcase the IC materi- al industry’s capabilities to support semiconductor industry growth. Contact: SEMI, 673 S Milpitas
