The Global Semiconductor Alliance Asia Pacific Executive Forum (APEF) brings together senior leaders from across IC design and the global semiconductor value chain, together with the software, systems, and technology companies increasingly shaping the industry’s future. The forum explores how Asia continues to advance AI-driven transformation and the next phase of global innovation.

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a future trend—it is rapidly becoming the foundation of global infrastructure, transforming industries from cloud computing and advanced manufacturing to robotics, autonomous systems, edge intelligence, and smart mobility. At the same time, AI is fundamentally reshaping how semiconductors are designed, manufactured, optimized, and deployed, accelerating innovation cycles and redefining competitive advantage across the industry.

With deep strengths across IC design, semiconductor manufacturing, memory, advanced packaging and testing, and supply-chain integration, Asia plays a critical role in enabling this transformation. The region is uniquely positioned at the intersection of technology scale, manufacturing excellence, and ecosystem collaboration—connecting the global semiconductor value chain with software, systems, and emerging AI platforms.

As demand for computing power, energy efficiency, and intelligent systems continues to accelerate, the industry is entering a new phase in which collaboration across the semiconductor and technology ecosystem is more essential than ever. The rise of Physical AI, advanced systems, and Quantum Computing is pushing the industry beyond traditional boundaries, creating new opportunities for innovation, integration, and long-term growth. Future success will depend not only on technology leadership, but also on the ability to build trusted partnerships, resilient supply chains, and globally connected innovation ecosystems.

APEF provides a platform for candid dialogue among industry executives on the trends reshaping the semiconductor landscape—from AI infrastructure and next-generation computing to advanced manufacturing, system integration, and evolving global partnerships. Together, industry leaders will explore how Asia and the global semiconductor ecosystem can advance technological innovation, strengthen global resilience, and support sustainable growth.
