Seminar on the development of regional/local ecosystem for the semiconductor industry
Mission Statement
Seminar on the development of regional/local ecosystem for the semiconductor industry is for representatives of Czech regions and cities, high schools and universities, regional development agencies or industrial real estate developers.
What needs to be done for the successful development of a favourable ecosystem in regions or cities where the semiconductor sector already exists or has a chance to develop thanks to new investments in the Czech Republic and neighbouring countries?
How have regions like Arizona, Eindhoven, Saxony, or Bavaria responded to predictions of a surge in demand for semiconductors and begun to strengthen capacity for education, retraining, research and development, local transportation infrastructure, industrial parks for suppliers, or residential housing?
