Sweden–Finland Pavilion

As global demand grows for resilient semiconductor supply chains, sustainable high-tech facilities, and next-generation manufacturing technologies, the Nordic countries are strengthening industrial collaboration through the Nordic Chip Alliance. According to the Alliance’s official report, the Nordic semiconductor industry has demonstrated strong growth in recent years, reaching a total output value of EUR 5.7 billion in 2023, representing a 36% increase since 2019. The ecosystem includes more than 300 active companies and employs approximately 22,000 people. Key areas of Nordic semiconductor expertise include Chip Design & Microelectronics, MEMS & Sensors, Advanced Materials & Processing, as well as solutions for high-tech facilities and advanced inspection technologies.

This year, Sweden and Finland are jointly presenting at SEMICON Taiwan, showcasing innovative companies and cutting-edge technologies from both countries. Sweden has a strong industrial foundation in high-tech facilities, semiconductor equipment, and MicroLED technologies, while Finland is internationally recognized for its expertise in cryogenic superconductivity, advanced materials, photonics, and quantum technologies. Together, the two countries demonstrate the Nordic region’s research excellence, technological innovation, and growing contribution to the global semiconductor value chain.
