The Malaysia Semiconductor Industry Association, or MSIA, held a networking session on April 28 in Kuala Lumpur to narrow perception gaps between foreign-owned companies and local small and medium-sized enterprises, and to encourage cooperation.

MSIA President Wong Siew Hai said the semiconductor industry is becoming more advanced and complex, creating differences in understanding between multinational firms and SMEs. He said the event would help both sides broaden their understanding so they can work together more effectively.

Representatives from U.S. companies including Micron Technology, Intel, Texas Instruments, SanDisk and Lam Research took the stage to outline business opportunities, procurement requirements and market-entry processes.

The program also included a session on advanced packaging, with talks covering market analysis, technology trends and challenges.
