Canada’s prosperity and innovation increasingly rely on semiconductors - the small but mighty technologies that power everything from consumer electronics and clean tech to AI, quantum computing, and advanced defence systems.
Next week in Ottawa, ICTC (Information and Communications Technology Council) and CMC Microsystems will co-host an in-person discussion on the pivotal role of semiconductors in shaping Canada’s future.
