The co-organizers are the Electronic Components Application and Supply Chain Branch of China Information Industry Chamber of Commerce, the National Integrated Circuit Design Shenzhen Industrialization Base, the National "Xinhuo" Shenzhen Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurship Base, and the Guangdong Integrated Circuit Industry Association.

Big names gathered at the summit

With the theme of "Core Productivity, Strategic Core Highland", the ICS Summit brought together top scholars, business leaders and industry elites at home and abroad in the field of circuits to discuss the cutting-edge trends, technological innovation and future strategies of the industry.

The summit has been strongly supported by industry leaders, business representatives, IC bases, Xinhuo platforms, industry associations, colleges and universities, media, etc., and many guests from semiconductor industry associations, government leaders, well-known universities and industry guests attended the summit. More than 800 guests gathered in Shenzhen at the summit to gain insight into the new development trend of the integrated circuit industry, discover new value, lay out a new future, cultivate industrial advantages, and stimulate new momentum for the high-quality development of the integrated circuit industry.

In the speech session of the summit forum on the morning of August 16, Lu Yuping, deputy director of the Nanshan District People's Congress, mentioned that the wave of global scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is sweeping, and the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core insists on putting scientific and technological innovation at the core of the overall national development. The integrated circuit industry is the core of strategic emerging industrial clusters and future industrial development, an important foundation for the development of new productive forces, and one of the key clusters in Nanshan District. In 2023, the added value of the integrated circuit industry in Nanshan District will reach 12.8 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10%. About half of the city's integrated circuit design enterprises have taken root in Nanshan, and the innovation ecology of the industrial chain is gradually improving. We welcome all experts, entrepreneurs and industry elites to visit Nanshan for inspection, exchange, negotiation and cooperation, investment and development, share the development opportunities of Nanshan, and look forward to witnessing the take-off of China's integrated circuit industry in this hot land.

Co-build a framework to create a new ecology for industrial development

Wang Junjie, Executive Secretary-General of China Semiconductor Industry Association, Cheng Jinge, Secretary-General of Integrated Circuit Design Branch of China Semiconductor Industry Association, Chen Wei, President of Guangdong Integrated Circuit Industry Association, Lu Guojian, President of Shenzhen Semiconductor Industry Association, and other well-known bigwigs in the industry delivered speeches at the meeting. Subsequently, the signing ceremony of the cooperation framework for the ecological co-construction of the semiconductor and integrated circuit industry was held at the summit forum. Shenzhen Semiconductor Industry Association signed a framework cooperation agreement with ARM Technology (China) Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Pinghu Laboratory, Selangor Information Technology and Digital Economy Institution of Malaysia, and Shenzhen Pengwan Xinchao Technology Innovation Co., Ltd., aiming to fully link the advantages of multiple resources, promote close collaboration between the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and create a better industrial development and innovation ecology.

Shine Tengling Semiconductor participated in the conference to showcase the latest technology

Tengling Semiconductor is a leading semiconductor manufacturer in China, headquartered in Hsinchu City, Taiwan Province, China. Shenzhen Tengling Semiconductor Co., Ltd., as the South China marketing center of Tengling Semiconductor, was also invited to participate in the ICS2024 summit. In the exhibition area of the ICS2024 Summit, Tengling Semiconductor and well-known domestic semiconductor companies demonstrated the latest technological achievements of the domestic integrated circuit industry. The summit built a platform for exhibitors and participants to display and exchange products and technologies, and share cutting-edge technologies and the latest applications in the field of integrated circuits. With the vigorous development of 5G communications, artificial intelligence, automotive electronics, Internet of Things and other industries, the market demand for integrated circuits will grow steadily.

Originated from Taiwan Tengling Semiconductor accelerates localization substitution

Tengling Semiconductor from Taiwan, China's treasure island, was established in 2010, after 15 years of vigorous development, successfully established a "2+2+2" industrial layout on both sides of the strait, with two top technology research and development centers, two advanced product production bases, and two luxury product marketing centers. Tengling Semiconductor has more than 400 employees, including more than 300 front-line production employees, more than 60 technical R&D personnel, and the founding team is all executives from United States Silicon Valley. In recent years, with the gradual deepening of Tengling Semiconductor's corporate strategy of "deepening the layout of the mainland", Tengling's annual sales have risen year after year. As of 2023, Tengling's annual sales will exceed 500 million yuan, and the annual sales in 2024 are expected to exceed 700 million yuan. The success of Tengling Semiconductor's strategy of "deepening the layout of the mainland" has helped accelerate the localization and substitution of semiconductors, and effectively enhanced the hard power and competitiveness of domestic semiconductors in the world semiconductor market.

The three major forums ICS2024 summit came to a successful conclusion

On the afternoon of August 16, the three thematic forums and special matchmaking sessions of the ICS2024 Summit continued. The three forums are: IC Design and Innovation Application Forum, Semiconductor Manufacturing and Advanced Packaging Forum, and EDA Innovation and Development Forum.

After the three major forums, the ICS2024 Summit came to a successful conclusion. The summit has received strong support from academicians and experts, leaders of competent departments, local associations, business leaders, colleges and universities, media and investment institutions. At present, Shenzhen continues to accelerate the pace of tackling key problems in the integrated circuit industry, and effectively promotes the deep integration of innovation chain, industrial chain, capital chain and talent chain under the strong promotion of industrial planning and policy support. In March 2024, Shenzhen issued the "Implementation Plan on Accelerating the Development of New Quality Productivity and Further Promoting the High-quality Development of Strategic Emerging Industrial Clusters and Future Industries", which proposes to gather resources with the strength of the whole city to support the cultivation of 7 industrial clusters such as semiconductors and integrated circuits that are of strategic significance, in the tuyere period, and with large resource investment. The successful holding of the ICS2024 Summit provides a high-level exchange platform to promote the accelerated convergence of innovation resources, share new trends, new technologies, new products and new formats of the integrated circuit industry, and jointly discuss the high-quality development path of China's integrated circuit industry.
