At the SEMI Industry Strategy Symposium Europe (SEMI ISS Europe) on 6-8 March, industry experts will delve into the disruptions and opportunities impacting the electronics manufacturing supply chain. Updating the trends, forecasts, and business intelligence for 2016 and beyond, SEMI ISS looks at not just at Europe, but Europe in context of the global markets. This gives senior executives the industry data and perspectives needed to support business decisions, customer strategies, and the pursuit of greater profitability.
As PC and mobile phone markets mature, a new growth engine in smart systems drives an explosion of applications in the Internet of Things (IoT).

This growth drives an avalanche of new applications to meet changing societal needs and challenges with cost-efficient electronic solutions, enabling intelligent mobility, automotive, smart homes, smart cities, smart power, and healthcare.
