The integrated Korea Pavilion will feature booths operated by 19 domestic companies. Companies from various fields, ranging from materials and equipment necessary for the semiconductor industry to parts and process solutions, will discuss cooperation opportunities with global partners.

Near the exhibition hall, a "K-SEMICON Partnership Day" will be held to support not only companies operating booths at the Korea Pavilion but also Korean companies participating individually in the exhibition, enabling additional consultations and networking with key buyers. Using KOTRA's export support platform "BuyKorea" (buykorea.org), buyer-tailored consultations will be arranged, and digital marketing for companies participating in the Korea Pavilion will be supported through an online trade show.

This year marks the 53rd SEMICON West, regarded as the world's largest semiconductor equipment and materials exhibition. As of last year, 573 companies from 41 countries worldwide participated. Under this year's slogan, "Stronger Together," various cooperation measures regarding supply chain stability, sustainability, and workforce supply will be discussed.

Kim Hyung-il, head of KOTRA's Silicon Valley Trade Center, said, "Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has established itself as a core of industrial capability, and semiconductor demand related to this is continuously increasing. Competition among companies on the supply side is becoming increasingly fierce, so opportunities and crises coexist simultaneously."
