Malaysia National E&E Forum 2021 Fueling the Semiconductor Renaissance

Semiconductors will power the future of the world. As the world become more digital, semiconductors as the “brains” of all modern electronics will be ever more present in all sectors of the economy. Its pervasiveness and ubiquity is already very apparent especially during this period of Covid-19. The emerging technologies of 5G, IOT, AI, Electric Vehicles, Smart Cities will increase the demand of semiconductors exponentially.

Yet, the industry is facing challenges, including the US-China trade war, the ongoing Covid-19 demand & supply issues and technology race with countries like US, China, Korea and Japan doubling down on investments in semiconductor both in research & development and increasing fab capacity within their home countries.

What are the implications of these developments to the global E&E industry and how can Malaysia seize some of these opportunities and reinvent itself?
