The international participation is also expected to provide opportunities for Indian companies and startups to establish relationships with global players and explore new avenues for collaboration.
Startup Pavilion to Highlight Emerging Technologies
A dedicated Startup Pavilion will form part of SEMICON India 2026, providing emerging companies with an opportunity to present their technologies and solutions to industry stakeholders.
Startups are becoming increasingly important to India’s technology ecosystem, particularly in areas such as semiconductor design, deep technology, artificial intelligence, electronics and advanced engineering.
The Startup Pavilion is expected to create a platform where entrepreneurs can demonstrate innovations, interact with investors and industry leaders, and explore potential partnerships within the semiconductor ecosystem.
Workforce Development Pavilion to Address Talent Requirements
The event will also feature a Workforce Development Pavilion, highlighting the importance of skilled talent in building a sustainable semiconductor industry.
Semiconductor manufacturing and design require specialised expertise across engineering, research, manufacturing, equipment, materials, testing and other technical disciplines. Developing a strong talent pipeline is therefore an important component of India’s long-term semiconductor strategy.
The pavilion is expected to provide a platform for discussions and initiatives focused on workforce development, skills and opportunities within the semiconductor sector.
Country and State Pavilions to Expand Industry Participation
SEMICON India 2026 will feature seven Country Pavilions and 10 State Pavilions, bringing together participants from different national and regional semiconductor ecosystems.
The Country Pavilions are expected to facilitate international engagement and provide participating countries with opportunities to showcase their semiconductor capabilities, technologies and investment potential.
Meanwhile, the State Pavilions will highlight India’s regional capabilities and initiatives related to electronics and semiconductor development. State-level participation can help showcase investment opportunities, industrial infrastructure, policy initiatives and emerging technology ecosystems.
Together, these pavilions are expected to strengthen interaction between international companies, Indian states and industry stakeholders.
DeepTech Hackathon to Encourage Semiconductor Innovation
Another major initiative associated with SEMICON India 2026 will be the DeepTech Hackathon, aimed at encouraging technology-driven innovation.
Deep-tech development often involves advanced engineering, scientific research and long-term technology development. A dedicated hackathon can provide innovators and emerging technology teams with an environment to develop solutions around industry challenges.
The initiative also aligns with India’s wider focus on strengthening domestic innovation and encouraging startups and young technology professionals to participate in advanced technology sectors.
Opportunities for Investment and Strategic Partnerships
SEMICON India 2026 is expected to create opportunities for companies and investors to explore India’s growing semiconductor market.
The event will bring together technology companies, manufacturers, investors, policymakers, startups and ecosystem partners, creating opportunities for business discussions and strategic collaborations.
For international companies, the event can provide exposure to India’s developing semiconductor ecosystem and opportunities to engage with Indian businesses and institutions. For domestic companies, participation can support connections with international technology providers, investors and potential partners.
Strengthening India’s Position in the Global Semiconductor Industry
The semiconductor industry has become strategically important for economies worldwide because chips are essential to smartphones, computers, automobiles, industrial equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, consumer electronics and emerging technologies.
Against this backdrop, India has been working to expand its presence across semiconductor manufacturing, design, electronics production and related areas.
SEMICON India 2026 will provide a platform to showcase these developments while facilitating discussions around technology, investment, innovation and international cooperation.
The event’s focus on moving from “Silicon to Systems” also underlines the importance of developing an integrated ecosystem rather than focusing on a single segment of the semiconductor value chain.
Global Collaboration at the Centre of SEMICON India 2026
International collaboration will be an important component of SEMICON India 2026, with participants from more than 20 countries expected to take part.
Semiconductor supply chains are highly interconnected, involving companies across different countries for chip design, equipment, materials, manufacturing, packaging, testing and electronics production.
By bringing international and Indian stakeholders together, the event is expected to support discussions around resilient supply chains, technology partnerships and investment opportunities.
The participation of global technology companies alongside Indian enterprises, startups and government representatives will also provide opportunities to exchange knowledge and understand emerging developments in the semiconductor industry.
Yashobhoomi to Host Major Semiconductor Industry Gathering
The Yashobhoomi (India International Convention & Expo Centre) in New Delhi will serve as the venue for SEMICON India 2026 from 17–19 September.
The venue provides a large-scale platform for exhibitions, conferences, business meetings and industry networking. Its selection for the event will enable exhibitors and visitors from India and overseas to participate in the three-day programme.
