On July 16th, the 7th Asia-Pacific International Intelligent Equipment Expo 2026 grandly opened at the Qingdao International Convention and Exhibition Center (Hongdao Hall)! Simultaneously, the “2026 Semiconductor Industry Innovation and Development Cooperation and Exchange Conference” also commenced amidst enthusiastic applause.
7月16日，2026第7届亚太国际智能装备博览会于青岛国际会展中心（红岛馆）盛大开幕！与此同时，“2026半导体产业创新发展合作交流会”也在热烈的掌声中展开。
Professor Lou Yunhe, Executive President of the Asia-Pacific Association for Science and Technology, was invited to attend the “2026 Semiconductor Industry Innovation and Development Cooperation and Exchange Conference” and delivered a speech. In her speech, Dr. Lou stated:
Today’s exchange conference, themed “Innovative Development of the Semiconductor Industry,” focuses on industry hotspots such as domestic substitution, chip technology innovation, artificial intelligence empowerment, standardization, and product reliability. These topics are not only important directions for the development of China’s semiconductor industry but also strategic issues of common concern to the global semiconductor industry.
Currently, we are at a critical juncture in the in-depth development of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation. The rapid rise of emerging industries such as artificial intelligence, large-scale models, intelligent robots, new energy vehicles, low-altitude economy, and intelligent manufacturing has created unprecedented demands for high-performance chips. It can be said that semiconductors are no longer merely the core foundation of the electronics industry but have become a crucial engine driving the development of the digital economy and intelligent society.
亚太科学技术协会执行会长娄芸鹤教授受邀出席“2026半导体产业创新发展合作交流会”，并在大会上致辞。娄博士在致辞中提到：
今天的交流会，以“半导体产业创新发展”为主题，聚焦国产化替代、芯片技术创新、人工智能赋能、标准化建设以及产品可靠性等产业热点，这些议题不仅是中国半导体产业发展的重要方向，也是全球半导体产业共同关注的战略课题。
当前，我们正处于新一轮科技革命和产业变革深入发展的关键时期。人工智能、大模型、智能机器人、新能源汽车、低空经济、智能制造等新兴产业快速崛起，对高性能芯片提出了前所未有的需求。可以说，半导体已经不仅仅是电子产业的核心基础，更成为推动数字经济和智能社会发展的重要引擎。
Meanwhile, the global semiconductor industry is undergoing profound changes. From advanced processes and packaging to third-generation semiconductors, new memory technologies, Chiplet architecture, and AI-driven EDA design and intelligent manufacturing, technological innovation is accelerating, and the industrial ecosystem is continuously being restructured.
This not only tests a country’s innovation capabilities but also requires the international community to strengthen exchanges in scientific research cooperation, talent cultivation, industrial collaboration, and standards development to jointly promote the healthy development of the industry.
Encouragingly, China’s semiconductor industry has achieved remarkable development results in recent years. More and more outstanding companies are breaking through key core technologies, forming a complete industrial system in areas such as integrated circuit design, manufacturing, packaging and testing, and equipment materials. Shandong, in particular, relying on its strong manufacturing base and continuously optimized innovation environment, is accelerating the cultivation of semiconductor and high-end equipment manufacturing industrial clusters, injecting new impetus into the high-quality development of the regional economy.
与此同时，全球半导体产业也正在经历深刻变革。从先进制程、先进封装，到第三代半导体、新型存储、Chiplet架构，再到AI驱动的EDA设计和智能制造，技术创新不断加速，产业生态持续重构。这不仅考验一个国家的创新能力，也更加需要国际社会在科研合作、人才培养、产业协同和标准建设方面加强交流，共同推动产业健康发展。
令人欣喜的是，中国半导体产业近年来取得了令人瞩目的发展成果。越来越多优秀企业不断突破关键核心技术，在集成电路设计、制造、封装测试、设备材料等领域形成了完整的产业体系。特别是山东，依托雄厚的制造业基础和持续优化的创新环境，正在加快培育半导体和高端装备制造产业集群，为区域经济高质量发展注入新的动力。
As an international organization that has long focused on Asia-Pacific science and technology innovation cooperation, we believe that the future development of the semiconductor industry will increasingly reflect three key words:
First, innovation. Innovation has always been the primary driving force for industrial development. Only by adhering to original technological breakthroughs and strengthening the deep integration of basic and applied research can we continuously enhance the core competitiveness of the industry.
Second, collaboration. The semiconductor industry chain is long and technologically demanding, meaning no single company can independently achieve all innovations. A closer collaborative innovation mechanism needs to be established among upstream and downstream players in the industry chain, universities, research institutions, and government departments to achieve resource sharing, complementary advantages, and jointly build an open, efficient, and sustainable industrial ecosystem.
Thirdly, open cooperation is crucial. Technological development knows no borders. Faced with global technological challenges and market demands, strengthening international cooperation is more important than ever. Openness not only means resource sharing but also the exchange of ideas, the flow of talent, mutual recognition of standards, and the joint construction of an innovation ecosystem.
作为长期关注亚太科技创新合作的国际组织，我们认为，未来半导体产业的发展，将越来越体现三个关键词。
第一，是创新。 创新始终是产业发展的第一动力。只有坚持原创技术突破，加强基础研究和应用研究深度融合，才能不断提升产业核心竞争力。
第二，是协同。 半导体产业链长、技术门槛高，没有任何一家企业能够独立完成全部创新。产业链上下游、高校、科研机构以及政府部门之间需要建立更加紧密的协同创新机制，实现资源共享、优势互补，共同打造开放、高效、可持续发展的产业生态。
第三，是开放合作。 科技的发展没有国界。面对全球性的技术挑战和市场需求，加强国际合作比以往任何时候都更加重要。开放不仅意味着资源共享，更意味着思想交流、人才流动、标准互认以及创新生态的共同建设。

It also boasts numerous leading international companies and research institutions.
The Asia-Pacific Association for Science and Technology (APAST) hopes to fully leverage Singapore’s platform advantages connecting Asia and the world to further promote scientific and technological exchanges between China and Singapore, and between China and the Asia-Pacific region. This will encourage more universities, research institutions, and enterprises to conduct joint research and development, technology transfer, talent cultivation, and industrial cooperation, jointly building a more open and resilient semiconductor innovation ecosystem.
We also look forward to taking today’s exchange as a new starting point to establish long-term cooperative relationships with Shandong Province and more Chinese partners, and to carry out deeper cooperation in areas such as hosting international forums, connecting industry resources, exchanging scientific and technological achievements, cultivating young talent, and cooperating in innovation and entrepreneurship, jointly promoting the Asia-Pacific semiconductor industry towards higher-quality development.
新加坡作为全球重要的科技创新中心和国际商业枢纽，在半导体制造、先进封装、科研创新、国际人才培养以及科技成果转化方面积累了丰富经验，也汇聚了众多国际领先企业和科研机构。亚太科学技术协会希望充分发挥新加坡连接亚洲、沟通世界的平台优势，进一步促进中国与新加坡、中国与亚太地区之间的科技交流，推动更多高校、科研机构和企业开展联合研发、成果转化、人才培养以及产业合作，共同构建更加开放、更具韧性的半导体创新生态。
我们也期待以今天的交流会为新的起点，与山东省以及更多中国合作伙伴建立长期合作关系，在国际论坛举办、产业资源对接、科技成果交流、青年人才培养、创新创业合作等方面开展更加深入的合作，共同推动亚太地区半导体产业迈向更高质量的发展。
Technology changes the world, innovation leads the future; cooperation creates value, and exchange fulfills dreams.
The development of the semiconductor industry not only requires technological breakthroughs, but also an international perspective, an open mind, and a spirit of cooperation. We believe that through today’s in-depth exchange, we will be able to build more consensus, establish more cooperation, and achieve more results, jointly contributing wisdom and strength to the development of the global semiconductor industry.
Furthermore, Professor Lou Yunhe expressed her great honor to be invited to beautiful Qingdao to participate in the “2026 Semiconductor Industry Innovation and Development Cooperation Exchange Conference.” On behalf of the Asia-Pacific Science and Technology Association (APSTA), she expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the organizers of the conference and extended her sincere respect to all the leaders, experts, entrepreneurs, and industry colleagues who have long been committed to promoting the development of China’s semiconductor industry.
科技改变世界，创新引领未来；合作创造价值，交流成就梦想。
半导体产业的发展不仅需要技术突破，更需要国际视野、开放胸怀和合作精神。相信通过今天的深入交流，我们一定能够凝聚更多共识，建立更多合作，形成更多成果，共同为全球半导体产业的发展贡献智慧与力量。
