【產(chǎn)通社，10月18日】全球微電子制造產(chǎn)業(yè)協(xié)會(huì)及SEMICON展會(huì)的主辦者——SEMI與全球光伏制造產(chǎn)業(yè)協(xié)會(huì)——PV Group共同宣布，推出一組全新的產(chǎn)業(yè)系列活動(dòng)SOLARCON，旨在為快速增長(zhǎng)的光伏制造市場(chǎng)服務(wù)。

目前已宣布的活動(dòng)及日程為：
SOLARCON Korea，2009年1月20日至22日，韓國(guó)首爾COEX
SOLARCON China，2009年3月17日至19日，中國(guó)上海SNIEC
SOLARCON Singapore，2009年5月20日至22日，新加坡Suntec Exhibiton Centre

SOLARCON每一場(chǎng)活動(dòng)都和當(dāng)?shù)氐腟EMICON展會(huì)在同一地點(diǎn)舉行，因而SOLARCON可充分利用SEMICON的觀眾資源和展會(huì)基建，可使服務(wù)于微電子和光伏的公司可在同一次展會(huì)中獲得在兩個(gè)領(lǐng)域展示的效果。

SOLARCON的舉辦是針對(duì)日益發(fā)展光伏制造產(chǎn)業(yè)。近年來(lái)，光伏在SEMICON的展會(huì)中是發(fā)展十分迅速的板塊，PV采購(gòu)商常聚集于SEMI的活動(dòng)來(lái)了解領(lǐng)先的光伏供應(yīng)商。SOLARCON的舉辦，使目前SEMICON的參展商中同時(shí)涉足微電子與光伏兩個(gè)領(lǐng)域的最為獲益。

“SOLARCON的舉辦將使SEMI能關(guān)注到光伏產(chǎn)業(yè)的各種問(wèn)題、技術(shù)展示以及項(xiàng)目開(kāi)發(fā)，以更好地滿足產(chǎn)業(yè)需求。”SEMI總裁兼CEO Stanley Myers說(shuō)道，“我們非常激動(dòng)，可以拓展我們的服務(wù)到這樣快速發(fā)展的產(chǎn)業(yè)中去，為光伏產(chǎn)業(yè)創(chuàng)造一定的機(jī)會(huì)�！�

SEMI ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF NEW SOLARCON EVENTS IN KOREA, CHINA, AND SINGAPORE

New Photovoltaic-Focused Events Co-located with SEMICON Expositions

SAN JOSE, Calif. October 15, 2008  SEMI, the global trade association for the microelectronics manufacturing industry and organizer of SEMICON? expositions, and PV Group, the global association for the photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing supply chain, have announced the launch of SOLARCON, a new series of trade events dedicated to serving the rapidly growing photovoltaic manufacturing market.

The new events and dates announced are:
SOLARCON Korea, January 20-22, 2009, COEX, Seoul, Korea
OLARCON China, March 17-19, 2009, SNIEC, Shanghai, China
SOLARCON Singapore, May 20-22, 2009, Suntec Exhibiton Centre, Singapore

Each of the SOLARCON events will be co-located with existing SEMICON events in the regions. In co-locating with SEMICON, SOLARCON will leverage the existing visitor and show infrastructure, allowing exhibiting companies serving the photovoltaic and microelectronics markets to reach both communities without needing multiple exhibits in multiple events. The co-location strategy also continues SEMI's commitment to grow existing shows and partnerships while reducing the proliferation of new stand-alone events.

The introduction of SOLARCON addresses the expanding market for and rising interest in photovoltaic manufacturing technology.  In recent years, PV has been a fast-growing segment of SEMICON events around the world as PV buyers have flocked to SEMI events to see the leading suppliers and a broad range of process, automation, materials, quality control, and other technologies that serve both industries.  As the PV industry has grown,  the unique needs of the PV community at SEMICON events have merited a dedicated exposition supported by exclusive programs, audience recruitment, networking events, promotional opportunities, and other features.  Current SEMICON exhibitors who serve both the microelectronics and PV industries will especially benefit from the expanded reach and buying power of the co-located events.

"The introduction of SOLARCON will allow SEMI to address issues, showcase technologies, and develop programs focused on photovoltaic manufacturing in a forum specifically dedicated to the needs of the PV industry," said Stanley Myers, president and CEO of SEMI. "We are excited to expand our service to this important growing market and to foster new opportunities for the solar community."

The SOLARCON events in Korea, China, and Singapore join other SEMI and PV Group-sponsored and supported PV events including PV Japan, Intersolar (Munich), and Intersolar North America, the latter co-located with SEMICON West in San Francisco.
