Semiconductor and Electronics Industries in the Philippines Foundation, Inc. (SEIPI) will hold its 17th Philippine Semiconductor & Electronics Convention and Exhibition (PSECE) with the theme: “Harnessing Digital Transformation to Accelerate Economic Recovery” on 16-18 November 2022 at SMX Convention Center Manila, Pasay City, Philippines.

In support of the PSECE, the Department of Trade and Industry – Export Marketing Bureau (DTI-EMB) will conduct business matching activities between foreign and local buyers and domestic suppliers.

The PSECE One-on-One Business Meeting (Business Matching) serves as a special feature of this year’s event as it offers a highly individualized opportunity for PSECE exhibitors to seek and meet with their potential clients (SEIPI-member companies), and for the latter to meet and consult experts or potential partners on industry matters, business and technical tie-ups, joint ventures, and investments.

PSECE is the biggest annual convention and exhibition of leading technology companies in the Philippines. The exhibition component aims to feature the electronics industry’s complete range, from chips to finished products, from manufacturers, suppliers/service providers, and distributors to retailers.

Over the years, it has evolved into a global event that provides a venue for companies and countries to showcase their latest technologies, and benchmark standards, share best practices, establish business linkages, and strengthen government and academe relations.  On its 17th  year, the PSECE 2022, the most significant event in the industry, will once again serve as a vehicle for the key industry players to meet in one common venue.

The Parts Localization Pavilion will showcase SEIPI members’ supply requirements for parts, equipment, raw materials, and services they intend to procure from local vendors. It consists of four (4) booths to be occupied by Gruppo EMS, Gemphil Technologies Inc., Teradyne Philippines, and the Technical Working Group of Parts Localization.
