COSEI 2026 — held on 19th June at IISc, the crucible of cutting-edge semiconductor research in India, proved to be a watershed moment in semiconductor manufacturing. The event drew the who's who of the semiconductor equipment and materials industries, with an audience that matched the speakers in depth and insight. Leading semiconductor equipment and materials companies, including Applied Materials, Lam Research, GenISys, Park Systems, MacDermid Alpha, and many more, were represented in full force.
The content was substantive and urgent, reflecting the critical juncture at which India's semiconductor ambitions stand — yet the panel discussions and speaker sessions struck the perfect balance, blending sharp insight with moments of levity that kept the energy in the room high. Together, participants actively shaped both the strategic and tactical direction needed to propel India's semiconductor movement into full mission mode.
Topics ranged from exponential market growth and AI chips, to funding guidance and ecosystem support for semiconductor manufacturing start-ups, industry challenges, Quantum, Aero-space, Defense and CeNSE's expanding outreach to companies and talent across India and globally. A dedicated panel discussion on display manufacturing also opened promising new avenues for companies and stakeholders alike.
