About this Event
Next generation electronics, using advanced materials, are opening vast new horizons that impact on every facet of society. North East England is at the vanguard of many of these and home to over 30 companies and organisations driving multiple revolutions. Already over 1800 people are employed locally in the sector with growth forecasts expected to generate a further 2700 jobs by 2027.
This conference aims to raise the profile of our regions semiconductor industry, highlight the industrial and academic work being undertaken by the sector in the North East, and to support the skills required for it to develop further by showcasing the work of local PhD students and giving an opportunity for students to network with industry.
This conference includes speakers from academia, DSIT and members from both the North East Advanced Material Electronics cluster as well as other invited speakers. The conference sessions and a selection of speakers are below.
