As artificial intelligence reshapes semiconductor architectures and accelerates demand for advanced packaging, Yole Group and the Malaysia Semiconductor Industry Association (MSIA) will bring global market and technology intelligence to Penang through a dedicated Executive Masterclass on 4 November 2026, held as part of the Silicon Malaysia conference 2026 (SMC2026).
The Executive Masterclass will provide semiconductor leaders and professionals with an in-depth examination of the global semiconductor outlook, heterogeneous integration and advanced packaging, and silicon photonics and photonics packaging, connecting global technology and market developments with opportunities emerging across Malaysia and the wider Asia-Pacific semiconductor ecosystem.
Jean-Christophe Eloy, Founder and Chairman, and Eric Tholin, CEO, Yole Group: “AI is redrawing the entire semiconductor value chain, and advanced packaging has become its control point. Southeast Asia, and Malaysia in particular, is scaling faster than almost any region we track, which is exactly why partnering with MSIA for this Executive Masterclass matters: it puts our data-driven intelligence directly in the hands of the companies and investors shaping the region’s next capacity and technology decisions.”
Dato’ Seri Wong Siew Hai, President of MSIA: “Malaysia has built strong semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, but our next phase of growth must be about moving further up the value chain. MSIA sees advanced packaging and IC design as critical areas in this progression, supporting our transition from ‘Made in Malaysia’ towards ‘Made by Malaysia’ and strengthening our position in the global semiconductor industry.”
