Four founders and Venture Capitalists give a view of setting up a semiconductor start up. They set out the why, when and how of taking an idea to market, showing why the venture matters, when to step out of the lab and how to shape a plan. They then discuss where the money is coming from and the routes to access.

Start up Innovators will present the audience with the audience and other panellists with the challenges that they faced specifically in the innovation stage of the business and technology development and how they have overcome them. They'll discuss applications driving innovations in the semiconductor industry in areas such as Datacentre, Automotive, Sensing and Wireless Technolgies.

Four enterprise industry end users from leading companies will each frame a world challenge from their market area in the Semiconductor space, the panel will then identify challenges which are common across all markets and applications then discuss the common approaches to solve these challenges.

After the Challenge Session each panellist will lead a separate round-table with delegates. These focused conversations give participants space to share ideas, craft solutions and form partnerships with organisations from across the semiconductor landscape that seldom have the opportunity to work side by side.
