The role of the ESD Alliance

It acts as the central voice to communicate and promote the value of the semiconductor design ecosystem as a vital component of the global electronics industry.

Under the SEMI umbrella, its charter includes responsibilities that cover industry advocacy – global trade policies, industry talent needs, and environment, health and safety (EHS) concerns, in particular – and workforce development. It also plays a major role in industry standards initiatives and market research reporting. Conferences, trade shows and other industry events are also among its priorities.
