EDGE Exhibiting at North America’s Largest Semiconductor Tradeshow

This week, marketing and development representatives from Mohawk Valley EDGE will once again be taking their efforts on the road, exhibiting with the NY Loves Nanotech team at Semicon West.

EDGE President Steve DiMeo said, “While the global economy continues to struggle, early indicators in the semiconductor industry point to significant investments in the 2010-2011 timeframe. EDGE’s goal is to ensure decision-makers in the industry are well versed on the assets of Marcy NanoCenter and Upstate New York in advance of those decisions.”

SemiCon West, held July 14-16 in San Francisco, California, is the largest international exposition and conference in the United States dedicated to semiconductor equipment, materials, suppliers and services. This year’s marketing effort will include a robust presence by GlobalFoundries, the company building a state-of-the-art semiconductor fab in Malta, NY (Saratoga County).

EDGE Vice President of Marketing and Business Development Timothy Dunn said, “The economic impact of attracting a chip fab to Marcy NanoCenter will have a transformative effect on the Mohawk Valley and all of Upstate New York. Events like Semicon West allow our team to meet face to face with not just the manufacturers, but the entire supply chain of this enabling industry.”

In addition to Semicon West, representatives of EDGE have taken a direct marketing approach to leaders in this industry at events in Nevada, California, Massachusetts, Texas and Japan in just the last 7 months. Later this year, EDGE will be exhibiting at the European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Semicon Europa, both in Germany.
