The semiconductor start-up ecosystem is powering innovation at unprecedented speed—but that momentum depends on securing and mobilizing the right talent. Join Fragomen’s Semiconductor Industry Group on June 18th at 9 AM PDT/12 PM EDT for a webcast focused on how immigration policy in the U.S. and Canada is shaping the growth of early-stage companies in this critical sector.
Our team of Fragomen professionals—Lisa Ryan, Haseena Enu, and Cosmina Morariu—along with industry professionals Tarun Verma from Silicon Catalyst, the only incubator and accelerator focused on the global semiconductor industry, and Avinash Persaud from ventureLAB, Canada’s only lab and incubator dedicated to hardtech and semiconductor founders, powering globally competitive ventures that advance the Canada's knowledge-based economy, will share region-specific insights, highlight emerging immigration trends, and discuss strategies for building a resilient and agile workforce amid increasing policy complexity and talent scarcity.
Key topics will include:
- Talent management challenges unique to semiconductor start-ups in the U.S. and Canada, and how to navigate immigration programs to meet your needs from Founders, to your first immigration-sponsored hire, to rapid growth
- How policy changes could impact your start-up’s talent pipeline and global scalability
- Workforce planning to stay competitive amid global talent shortages and geopolitical shifts
Whether you’re scaling your team, expanding operations, or planning for long-term growth, this session will equip you with practical tools to align your immigration strategies with your start-up’s innovation goals.
