Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav will inaugurate the Madhya Pradesh Semiconductor Summit-2026 in Indore on Friday, 24 October 2026, where he will also present the state's vision of establishing itself as a national semiconductor hub, according to a statement issued by his office. The two-day event will be held at the Brilliant Convention Centre in Indore.

What the Summit Covers

The summit will bring together representatives of domestic and international semiconductor companies, investors, industry experts, academicians, and startups. The event is structured around eight panel discussions, five roundtable meetings, and four keynote addresses. More than 50 companies will participate in an exhibition displaying capabilities spanning chip design, packaging and testing, equipment, materials, electronics manufacturing, and emerging technologies.

Day-by-Day Agenda

Discussions on the first day will centre on developing Madhya Pradesh as a hub for advanced packaging and testing, building a fabless ecosystem, and strengthening semiconductor manufacturing and supply chains. Roundtable meetings will address artificial intelligence infrastructure, fabless product development, and intellectual property. Cooperation between industry, educational institutions, and research organisations will also be explored.

The second day will focus on chip technology, artificial intelligence, electronics manufacturing, design services, research and development, and skill development. Dedicated sessions on photonics, quantum technology, and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are also scheduled. The closing ceremony will honour winners of the Madhya Pradesh Semicon Startup Competition.

CM's Engagements at the Summit

Chief Minister Yadav will hold one-to-one meetings with investors and representatives of semiconductor companies to discuss investment opportunities and technological collaboration. He will also visit an exhibition showcasing products, technologies, and solutions developed by companies in the semiconductor sector.

Policy Backdrop and Strategic Intent

The state government has already approved the Madhya Pradesh Semiconductor Policy-2025 to encourage investment and promote the establishment of semiconductor industries and related technological activities. The summit aims to attract investment, promote innovation, and develop a skilled workforce to support the semiconductor sector's growth in the state. This comes amid India's broader national push to reduce import dependence on chips, with the Centre having committed significant incentives under the India Semiconductor Mission. Madhya Pradesh's bid positions it alongside other aspirant states — notably Gujarat and Odisha — in competing for semiconductor investment and talent.

The outcome of the summit's investor meetings and any investment commitments announced during the event will be closely watched as a signal of the state's readiness to translate policy into on-ground activity.
