RF Global Solutions Exhibiting at the NMI Annual Conference 2025 in Glasgow

RF Global Solutions are thrilled to announce that we will be exhibiting at the National Microelectronics Institute (NMI) Annual Conference 2025. This year’s event is particularly exciting as it takes place for the first time in our home city of Glasgow, at the prestigious University of Strathclyde’s Technology and Innovation Centre.

As the semiconductor industry undergoes rapid transformation, global market projections indicate a staggering $2 trillion valuation by 2035. But how will emerging markets, disruptive technologies, and sustainability initiatives shape the industry’s next decade?

Key Themes and Industry Insights

The NMI Annual Conference 2025 brings together thought leaders, policymakers, and innovators to discuss the most pressing topics in microelectronics, including:
The evolution of computing – AI, neuromorphic, analogue, photonics, and the role of quantum technology
The semiconductor industry’s role in achieving NetZero – exploring power-efficient materials and sustainability initiatives
Global supply chain resilience – the impact of geopolitics and the drive for cross-border collaboration
Market growth opportunities – identifying new applications and investment potential in emerging technologies

This year’s impressive speaker lineup includes industry experts from McKinsey, imec Cambridge UK, Paragraf, ZEISS, and UKESF, along with representatives from both the UK and Scottish Governments.
