Empowering Talent: Skilling Programs at the Heart of SEMICON India 2025

The fourth edition of ‘Semicon India 2025: Building the Next Semiconductor Powerhouse’ Conference and Exhibition is scheduled to be jointly organised by ISM and SEMI from 2nd to 4th September 2025 at Yashobhoomi (India International Convention and Expo Centre – IICC), New DelhiThe event will showcase India’s growing capabilities and ambitions in the microelectronics and semiconductor value chain.

Organised under the aegis of the India Semiconductor Mission, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, SEMICON India 2025, will serve as a high-impact platform to unite the global and domestic stakeholders across the policy, industry, academia, and investment communities.

Key Highlights of SEMICON India 2025

A key high point of SEMICON India 2025 is the significantly higher level of stakeholder participation compared to previous editions. This reflects the growing success of the Semicon India Programme in attracting global semiconductor companies, who now view India as an emerging and trusted semiconductor hub.

This edition will witness several important firsts. For the first time, the exhibition will feature four International Pavilions—from Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia, as compared to none in previous editions. Also debuting for the first time are eight Country Roundtables, bringing together companies from India and key partner nations to foster bilateral collaboration.

In a strong push towards skilling and future-readiness, Training, Upskilling, and Workforce Development Programs for students and engineers will be introduced for the first time, including career counselling to guide and mentor young talent. The event will also feature a dedicated Semiconductor Design Startup Pavilion, offering a platform for innovation-led chip design enterprises. Additionally, nine State Government Pavilions will participate this year, up from six in the previous edition.

SEMICON India 2025 will host over 300 exhibiting companies from 18 countries and regions, showcasing the entire electronics value chain — from materials and equipment to silicon, design, and systems. The scale and diversity of participation signal India’s growing integration into the global semiconductor ecosystem.

The event will also include a three-day conference featuring global Chief Experience Officers (CXOs) and expert speakers, who will share insights on semiconductor manufacturing, technological advances, supply chain strategies, and industry trends.

Other special features of the event include the Workforce Development Pavilion, Startup Pavilion, eight Country Roundtables, B2B Forums, and structured Training & Upskilling Programs — all aimed at strengthening India’s talent pipeline and ecosystem capabilities.
