The Symposium’s program is being developed by a broad, opinionated crosssection of industry leaders. As Canada reassesses its place in the world, so must its industries. From the semiconductor sector through to automotive, defence, medtech, mining, oceans and advanced manufacturing, this country’s most productive sectors are taking a fresh, hard look at how best to compete.

The Organizing Committee blends the perspectives of the semiconductor sector with end-use industries that integrate semiconductor technology in their products and the sophisticated processes that create them. When they look to sharpen their competitive edge, why aren’t they looking at the semiconductor sector? And, when the semiconductor sector looks to build its markets, why isn’t it looking at them?

Where Sovereignty meets Prosperity stimulates stronger, practical connections between the technologies being developed by the semiconductor sector and the industries whose competitive, innovative edges need them.
