SEMICON Southeast Asia 2017 Conference is very successful

April 29, 2017.  By Jennifer Colegrove Ph.D.

I just returned from the SEMICON Southeast Asia 2017 conference hosted by SEMI Southeast Asia, at the beautiful Penang, Malaysia. It was my honor to meet some of you in person.

A high profile opening ceremony was hosted on April 25th, 2017. The reason I call it high profile is that many VIP figures in SEMI and Malaysia were invited to give speeches and ribbon cutting.
