The flagship technology convention SEMICON India 2026 is scheduled to commence on Thursday, September 17, 2026, at the India International Convention and Expo Centre (Yashobhoomi) in Dwarka, New Delhi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will officially inaugurate the fifth edition of the annual event, reaffirming India's strategic push to evolve into a resilient, trusted global hub for chip design, semiconductor manufacturing, and electronics systems packaging.
Organized as a three-day summit running from September 17 to September 19, this year's edition is structured around the focal theme "Silicon to Systems: Building the Ecosystem." The conference serves as a key institutional convergence point bringing together global foundries, domestic manufacturers, supply chain providers, technology innovators, angel investors, policy architects, researchers, and academia.
Scale, Global Participation, and Supply Chain Focus
The fifth edition marks the largest iteration of the summit to date, reflecting growing global confidence in the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM):
* Expansive Industry Footprint: The event will host more than 600 exhibitors, encompassing over 300 international corporations operating across the semiconductor and electronic hardware supply chain.
* Global Diplomatic Delegations: Official delegations, industry bodies, and technical experts from more than 40 partner nations will participate in high-level plenary sessions, business-to-business (B2B) forums, and investment roundtables.
* Fostering Talent and Startups: Dedicated pavilions will showcase early-stage deep-tech startups, fabless design firms, and university researchers, offering engineering students and young entrepreneurs direct access to global venture capital and advanced fabrication technologies.
Positioning India as a Trusted Semiconductor Partner
Against the backdrop of shifting geopolitical alignments and an accelerated global drive to build diversified, de-risked electronics supply chains, SEMICON India 2026 provides a platform to review project execution under the central government's fiscal incentive programs. With multi-billion-dollar semiconductor fabrication facilities, advanced testing units, and Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) plants advancing across states such as Gujarat and Assam, the convention is positioned to showcase commercial viability and regulatory clarity to global chipmakers.
Deliberations over the three-day event will focus on workforce skilling, local raw material ecosystems, specialized chemical inputs, cleanroom technologies, and long-term sustainability frameworks necessary to sustain continuous semiconductor fabrication.
