The Collaboration Session will provide the opportunity to sit down and work together on the Challenges presented during the previous session. Led by the Challenge Session panellists in separate round-table format with the 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.
