A key take-away from the book Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology by Chris Miller is that the semiconductor industry is global, interdependent and UNSTOPPABLE.
The progress and reinvention is staggering, amidst the ups and downs, booms and busts and innovation explosions. Wow! So now SEMICON West being set in Phoenix every other year, makes so much sense.
That's because of the massive investment by TSMC in the Metro Phoenix area, monumental geopolitical changes, technology advancements including dramatic market changes with AI, and more.
Global Chamber / Global Chamber Phoenix kicked off Semicon West (Oct 7-10) on Monday the 6th with a discussion of Mexico, Arizona and Global Synergy and Opportunities at Thunderbird School of Global Management, featuring speakers from around the region including Mexico, Arizona, Texas, California, Canada, Asia and Europe.
The post-event upstairs at The Pub connected us further. Recap.
Special thanks to ALL the dozens of speakers including sponsors from Baja California, Chihuahua Global EDC and the State of Sonora with Maria Elena Gallego of Collectron International Services.
