On July 1st, U.S.-China Semiconductor Hegemony War and
Global Semiconductor Supply Issues and Industry Changes to Be Addressed


With continued global semiconductor supply instability, interest in semiconductors is at an all-time high. Seminar Hub will hold the "2021 Semiconductor Industry Key Issues and Response Strategies Seminar" both online and offline on July 1st (Thursday) at the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry building in Yeouido, Seoul.

According to TrendForce, the combined revenue of the top 10 global foundry companies in Q1 2021 was 22.75 billion dollars (25.2 trillion won), up 1% from the previous quarter.

Taiwan's TSMC, the world's largest foundry, posted revenue of 12.92 billion dollars (14.3 trillion won), up 2% year-over-year, further widening its gap with Samsung Electronics, which declined 2% from the previous quarter.

Additionally, Pat Gelsinger, the new CEO of Intel, the world's largest semiconductor company by revenue, announced the "IDM 2.0" strategy and revealed plans to invest 20 billion dollars (22.3 trillion won) in foundry operations.

As the semiconductor industry experiences turbulence, this seminar will feature experts from major companies and organizations including SK Securities, Intel Korea, NX Korea, STMicroelectronics, IBK Investment & Securities, Hana Financial Investment, and the Korea Electronics Technology Institute (KETI), who will present on global semiconductor industry issues, R&D trends, and future response strategies for the domestic semiconductor industry.
