1st-ever Bangladeshi semiconductor road show in S Korea
Bangladesh Embassy in Seoul, in collaboration with the Bangladesh Semiconductor Industry Association (BSIA), has successfully arranged a two-day semiconductor roadshow in South Korea.
The road show was arranged aimed at integrating Bangladesh into the global semiconductor value chain through international collaboration, talent development and advanced packaging initiatives.
The road show was held on May 12-13, bringing together policymakers, academics and industry leaders from both countries to explore cooperation opportunities in semiconductor manufacturing, design verification, embedded systems and advanced packaging, said a press release here today.
A 12-member BSIA delegation led by its President M A Jabbar participated in the programme and held a series of one-to-one meetings with Korean semiconductor design houses and the Korea Semiconductor Industry Association (KSIA).
Addressing a banquet reception held on the occasion, Bangladesh Ambassador to South Korea Toufiq Islam Shatil highlighted the prospects of bilateral collaboration in the semiconductor sector.
He referred to the Asian Development Bank’s proposed economic corridor from Teknaf to Tetulia as a potential hub for high-tech industrialization, creating opportunities for semiconductor manufacturing, advanced packaging and electronics industries.
The technical sessions featured presentations on the Silicon River’ initiative by Prof Muhammad Mustafa Hussain of Purdue University, USA, along with capability overviews from seven BSIA member companies — Dynamic Solution Innovators, Test Bangladesh Limited, Ulkasemi Private Limited, Neural Semiconductor Ltd., PrimeSilicon Technology Inc., Siliconova Limited and MARS Solutions Limited.
