Bavarian Semiconductor Congress 2025
Bavaria is one of the leading locations in Europe for the semiconductor and microelectronics industry. To further strengthen the sector and make supply chains more resilient, the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs launched the Semiconductor Initiative in 2021. With the support of the Bavarian Chips Alliance, we are continuously expanding cluster and network structures as well as consistently working on securing the future of Bavaria's semiconductor industry and positioning it optimally on an international level.
With the 4th Bavarian Semiconductor Congress, the Ministry of Economic Affairs is continuing the successful Bavarian industry meeting. You may look forward to informative presentations and discussions with renowned experts on the current situation as well as on future challenges and development opportunities. Use our digital matchmaking platform to find the ideal conversation partners and establish important contacts, all while adhering to GDPR regulations. Get in contact with professionals from the semiconductor industry at our exhibition and further expand your network. It is time for the next step in the Bavarian Semiconductor Initiative. Be there.
