Notice on Holding“CSIA-ICCAD 2018 Annual Conference &   Zhuhai IC Industry Innovation and Development Summit（ICCAD 2018）”

To units concerned:

The integrated circuit (IC) industry is a national strategic pillar industry and an important foundation for the national economy and society informationization. In the past forty years, IC industry has achieved rapid development, and ICs have become the core of the information industry. At present, the development of China's IC industry is at a critical stage. The Country attaches great importance to the IC industry development and has issued a series of policies. The introduction of "Outline of National Integrated Circuit Industry Development and Promotion" and "Made in China 2025" has injected powerful impetus into the leapfrog development of China's IC industry. In 2018, China's IC industry entered a new journey of the real economy, ushered in an unprecedented development opportunity. As a pillar of the industry and the main link of technology and product innovation, IC design industry bears important responsibilities in the industrial development.

During the development of China's IC design industry, CSIA - ICCAD Annual Conference has played an important role in promoting industry cluster, linking industrial resources, and keeping abreast of industry trends. Over the years, the theme of the Annual Conference has been combined with the actual development of the electronic information industry in the host city of the conference. The Conference has promoted the simultaneous development of the related industries in the host cities and the national IC industry. Therefore, the "CSIA - ICCAD 2018 Annual Conference & Zhuhai IC Industry Innovation and Development Summit (ICCAD 2018)" is planned to be held in Zhuhai from November 29 to 30, 2018.

    The theme of this year's conference is “Linking Core Power, Leading intelligence of the Great Bay Area”. The Conference will discuss the opportunities and challenges faced by the IC industry, especially the IC design industry, and enhance the innovation capability and the integration capability of China's IC industry chain to meet market demands and improve international competitiveness. The conference will create a platform for exchanges and cooperation between enterprises in all aspects of the IC industry chain, and build a platform for exchanging information in technology, market, application, investment and other fields as well as discussing new cooperative approaches and channels between the corporate peers, related industry associations and intermediary organizations around the world and from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and the IC design enterprises of mainland China.
