About the Symposium

The IEEE CEDA SMS 2026 is a premier industry-academia symposium focused on strengthening India's semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem and preparing the next-generation workforce for the rapidly growing semiconductor industry.

Organized under the theme "Powering India's Semiconductor Future", the symposium will bring together industry leaders, researchers, startups, policymakers, professionals, and students to discuss emerging opportunities, technological advancements, and India's journey toward semiconductor self-reliance.

The event will feature keynote talks, expert technical sessions, panel discussions, startup and innovation showcases, and mentorship interactions covering the complete semiconductor manufacturing value chain — from fabrication and packaging to process technologies, equipment, ecosystem development, and policy initiatives.

With India's semiconductor market projected to grow significantly in the coming years, the symposium aims to create awareness, encourage collaboration, and build future-ready talent across multiple engineering disciplines including Electronics, Mechanical, Civil, and Chemical Engineering.
