The GSA Asia Pacific Executive Forum (APEF) is the Global Semiconductor Alliance’s flagship event in Asia, bringing together over 200 senior executives and thought leaders from across the global semiconductor ecosystem. The 2025 edition, scheduled for November 5 in Taipei, will explore the convergence of AI-driven transformation, supply chain realignment, geopolitical shifts, and emerging technology disruptions.
Under the theme “Strategic Intelligence – Empowering the Semiconductor Era through Design Leadership, AI Innovation, and Global Synergy,” this year’s forum will emphasize the pivotal role of IC design as the brain of technological advancement and the engine behind the intelligent era. The agenda will feature keynote speeches, panel discussions, and executive networking focused on strategy, innovation, and global collaboration.
Fragomen Managing Director, Magdalene Tennant, is hosting a session on Engineering Global Mobility: Building the Talent Bridge for the Semiconductor Era. As the semiconductor industry advances through design innovation and AI integration, global mobility has become central to sustaining growth. Magdalene will examine how immigration policy and talent strategy shape the sector’s competitiveness, with a spotlight on Taiwan’s expanding R&D landscape. She will discuss trends in cross-border hiring, challenges in attracting international talent, and the movement of skilled professionals between key markets — offering insights on how companies can build agile, globally connected teams.
