The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), which represents the chip industry in the US and India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA) signed an MoU to identify potential areas of the semiconductor industry.
The SIA includes big chip designers and manufacturers like AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Broadcom, and Global foundries. The MoU was signed after the visit of Intel CEO, Pat Gelsinger to India. He also met India's prime minister Narendra Modi on April 6.
The chairman of IESA, Rajeev Khushu said that the MoU will help in strengthening the country’s semiconductor ecosystem. He said this is the first visit that the SIA has made to India, and the two industry bodies will look to leverage each other’s strengths to make it possible. He also added, “if you see IESA’s strength, it is to connect with the local government, the state governments and we also cater to customers who use semiconductors here. On the other hand, the SIA has a global reach. Our companies include startups and fabless companies, and they will look to leverage SIA’s global reach to move outside India and sell their products and services."
