Essential to manufacture computers, smartphones, cars, refrigerators or any electronic device, semiconductors are critical elements in the implementation of the Internet of Things. For this reason, IOT Solutions World Congress (IOTSWC), the leading international event on the transformation of industry through disruptive technologies, will give have a special focus this year on chip designers, manufacturers and suppliers.
The upcoming edition of IOT Solutions World Congress, which will take place from 21 to 23 May at Fira de Barcelona’s Gran Via venue, will bring together a significant number of semiconductor chip manufacturers who will display their projects and products that will be key to the leap towards the digitisation and modernisation of industry.
Along these lines, the Government of Catalonia aware of the vital role of semiconductors in today’s industry and aiming to boost this sector in Catalonia will group together at IOT Solutions World Congress a large number of companies operating in this field in Catalonia in a single stand. These businesses join the offering of other international firms such as ST Microelectronics, Lacroix, Qualcomm, Tessolve or Würth Elektronik, which will showcase their projects and initiatives in the field of semiconductors.
With this initiative, the event contributes to the promotion of the strategy developed by the Catalan Government, to boost the semiconductor industry and which has resulted in the creation of the Catalan Semiconductor Alliance, an initiative made up of various ministries the Government of Catalonia, companies and research and innovation agents, who will work together to establish Catalonia as a leading hub of semiconductors in Europe.
Marc Tarragó, the show’s director, said “IOTSWC offers chip manufacturers an opportunity to reach new national and international customers at a key moment for the transformation of the industry. We wanted to give a boost to this segment, which is gaining prominence in an edition that is also consolidating itself as the leading global event to promote the Fourth Industrial Revolution”.
For his part, the secretary general for enterprise and competitiveness and CEO of ACCIÓ, Albert Castellanos i Maduell, said, “Catalonia is one of the main centres of technological attraction in Europe, in terms of the number of companies, talent and capacity to connect sectors of the entire economic fabric”. He also added, “The Catalan Government is committed to a strategy to promote industries such as semiconductors, and to the internationalisation and consolidation of the Catalan companies that are part of them, as a strategic and transforming vector of our industry”.
