  "account": "Semicon India 2026, an important semiconductor event, kicked off this week at Yashobhoomi in Dwarka, New Delhi. Organizers have tailored the three-day expo to cater to students, startups, and industry giants alike. With over 575 participating companies this year, up from 350 in 2025, the event has introduced several new initiatives to engage attendees. These include a dedicated Workforce Development pavilion for student mentorship, company-funded hackathons, and an AI matchmaking app to facilitate networking on the floor. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the event, marking the start of the conference. The growth of Semicon India 2026 can be attributed to the expansion of the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) and the increased interest from international companies. This year, out of the 575-plus exhibitors, approximately 300 are international, and 275 are from India. The event has also attracted 12 state pavilions and seven country pavilions, showcasing the growing importance of India in the global semiconductor landscape. Over 150 speakers will address various topics during the event, including the fab supply chain, advanced packaging, and product creation. Additionally, students from diverse academic backgrounds will have the opportunity to learn about the semiconductor industry through a Workforce Development pavilion and workshops. The event's keynote speakers include officials from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, ASML CEO, Applied Materials, Tokyo Electron, and Micron. Over the three days, attendees can expect a range of sessions, including policy discussions on Semicon 2.0, a fireside chat on semiconductor design, and panels on making India a product nation. Registration is still open, and the event will be webcast live for remote attendees.",
