Companies from within the country and abroad will deliberate on investments and technical collaboration.
Indore. The state government is going to take a big step towards developing Madhya Pradesh as a major investment center in the field of semiconductor and electronics manufacturing. A two-day ‘Madhya Pradesh Semiconductor Summit-2026’ will be organized in Indore on 23rd and 24th October. This conference will be held at the Brilliant Convention Center in the city. Its main objective is to attract investment for semiconductor industry in the state, promote technological innovation and create skill development and new employment opportunities for the youth. Major companies, investors, industry experts, academicians, research institutes and startup representatives from India and abroad will participate in the conference.
The summit will discuss important topics such as semiconductor chip design, electronics manufacturing, advanced packaging, testing, research and industrial collaboration. The government’s endeavor is to make Madhya Pradesh an attractive investment destination for the development and production of future technologies.
Chief Minister Mohan Yadav will inaugurate the summit
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav will address the inaugural session of the conference. The main theme of the inaugural session will be the vision of making Madhya Pradesh a semiconductor hub.
During this, the industrial facilities available in the state, investment possibilities and development plans in the technical sector will be discussed. Through the conference, investors will be given information about the state policies and possibilities related to industrial development.
The state government is paying special attention to creating an investment friendly environment for the development of semiconductor industry.
More than 50 companies will demonstrate technology
The two-day conference has seen more than 50 companies showcasing their technological capabilities, products and solutions.
Through the exhibition organized at the summit, companies will present the modern technologies being developed in the semiconductor and electronics sector.
This exhibition can prove useful for industry representatives, researchers and startups. Through this, opportunities for potential industrial partnerships and research collaboration can be explored along with understanding new technologies.
There will be special brainstorming on chip design and manufacturing
In the conference, special discussions will be held on the challenges and possibilities related to semiconductor chip design and manufacturing.
Semiconductors are an important part of modern electronic devices. They are used in many fields including mobile phones, computers, automobiles, medical devices, telecommunications and industrial machines.
In view of the increasing demand for semiconductors globally, emphasis is being laid on strengthening domestic production and technological capabilities in India too.
Madhya Pradesh government wants to promote new industrial activities in the state by attracting investment in this sector.
Discussion on Advanced Packaging and Testing Industry
The development of industries related to advanced packaging and testing will also be discussed in the summit.
After chip manufacturing, the process of packaging and quality testing is very important. These activities require specialized equipment, trained personnel and advanced technical facilities.
During the conference, potential investment and industrial cooperation opportunities for these industries in Madhya Pradesh will be explored.
Apart from this, there will also be discussion on developing a fabless ecosystem. Under the fabless model, companies design the chip, while it is manufactured in other manufacturing units.
Skill development of youth will get a boost
One of the major objectives of the conference is to create skilled human resources for the semiconductor sector.
This industry requires experts in electronics engineering, chip design, microelectronics, testing, research and advanced manufacturing.
In such a situation, special attention will be given to increasing cooperation between technical educational institutions and industries.
Possibilities of training students studying in educational institutions as per the needs of the industry and developing practical skills will also be discussed.
This can open new avenues of employment for youth with technical education in the future.
Startups and research institutes will get a platform
Startup companies and research institutes will also get an opportunity to present their technical capabilities in Madhya Pradesh Semiconductor Summit-2026.
The Startup Challenge organized under the Summit plans to encourage innovations related to semiconductor, electronics, sensors, photonics and emerging technologies.
Startups selected in this competition will get an opportunity to present their solutions in front of experts, investors and industry representatives.
A total prize money of Rs 6 lakh has also been fixed for the organized competition.
Expectation of employment with industrial development
Increasing investment in semiconductor industry can create possibilities for development of electronics manufacturing, research, technical services and supporting industries.
Establishing industries in this area can create employment opportunities for engineers, technicians, researchers and other trained employees.
Along with this, demand for logistics, industrial equipment, maintenance and other related services may also increase at the local level.
However, the actual employment and investment situation will depend on the final decisions of the companies and the implementation of the projects.
Preparation to make Madhya Pradesh a technology investment center
The state government is trying to limit Madhya Pradesh to only traditional industries.
