The International Semiconductor Industry Group (ISIG) will host the ISIG Executive Summit India 2026 in New Delhi from 3–4 November 2026, convening senior executives, technology leaders, researchers and policymakers from across the global semiconductor ecosystem. The summit is positioned as a high-stakes dialogue on the technologies, policy frameworks and supply chain priorities reshaping one of the world's most strategically contested industries.

Why New Delhi, Why Now

ISIG confirmed the summit follows its 2026 executive summit series held in the United States, Taiwan, South Korea and Europe — all of which were reportedly fully subscribed. The decision to bring the series to India underscores the country's rising profile in the global semiconductor conversation, driven by active policy momentum through the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM). Salah Nasri, CEO and Co-Founder of ISIG, framed the choice directly: 'India is no longer a future chapter in the semiconductor story, it is a present one.'

Nasri added that the summit's purpose is concrete: 'We brought ISIG's summit series to New Delhi because the decisions being made here, in advanced packaging, power electronics and domestic manufacturing, will shape the global supply chain for the next decade. Our role is to put executives, policymakers and capital in one room, and India is exactly where that conversation needs to happen now.'

Key Sessions and Agenda Highlights

The two-day programme will feature sessions on advanced packaging, outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT), power electronics, and wide-bandgap semiconductor technologies — including silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN). Participants will also address India's broader semiconductor strategy, supply chain development and emerging technology priorities that could define the country's role in the global value chain over the coming decade.

Government Participation and Policy Stakes

Amitesh Kumar Sinha, Additional Secretary at the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), is among the government representatives expected at the event. The presence of MeitY officials signals the Centre's intent to use the summit as a bridge between domestic ambition and international capital. Dr. Shalu Agarwal, General Manager of India and Head of Power Semiconductor at ISIG, noted: 'India has the talent, the policy momentum and the market to become a hub for the global semiconductor supply chain.'

India's Semiconductor Trajectory

India's push into semiconductor manufacturing is still nascent relative to established hubs in Taiwan, South Korea and the United States, but the ISM has catalysed early-stage investments in fabrication and packaging. The ISIG summit's return engagement — ISIG has already confirmed a follow-up summit in India from 30 November – 1 December 2027 — reflects growing confidence that India will sustain policy continuity rather than cycle through reform-and-retreat patterns seen in earlier technology-sector initiatives.

With global supply chains actively seeking alternatives to East Asian concentration, the November summit could influence both investment routing and technology partnership decisions that would take years to reverse.
