Voice of The Industry
Throughout the 1990s, as the semiconductor equipment and materials industry grew in size and importance, it took on a greater role in developing the process solutions that have made possible the electronics-based society we now enjoy. SEMI also evolved with our industry, developing more of the products and services that its members value in an industry association, such as technical conferences, educational events and market data collection and analysis. As the voice of the industry, SEMI represents the collective interests of its membership, and is an advocate for the industry in the areas of public policy, environment, health and safety, workforce development and investor relations.
Today, the technologies created by SEMI members are applicable to a number of related industries, such as flat panel display and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). Accordingly, SEMI continues to add innovative programs in related technology areas. SEMI, as the only truly global representative of the semiconductor, display, MEMS and related industries, will continue to provide the valuable services that have made it the association of choice for the microelectronics ecosystem.

Famous quotes containing the words voice of, voice and/or industry:
“And, shrilling from the solar course,
Or from fruit of chemic force,
Procession of a soul in matter,
Or the speeding change of water,
Or out of the good of evil born,
Came Uriel’s voice of cherub scorn,
And a blush tinged the upper sky,
And the gods shook, they knew not why.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“When we read a story, we inhabit it. The covers of the book are like a roof and four walls. What is to happen next will take place within the four walls of the story. And this is possible because the story’s voice makes everything its own.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“Do not put off your work until tomorrow and the day after. For the sluggish worker does not fill his barn, nor the one who puts off his work; industry aids work, but the man who puts off work always wrestles with disaster.”
—Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
