Benefits for Academic Institutions and Industry

ISWDP is a unique initiative in the country, offering an annual affiliate membership opportunity that promises long-term exposure and branding for your academic institution/company. Unlike fleeting conferences and workshops, ISWDP provides continuous visibility throughout the year, with multiple cohorts and levels under each cohort repeating four times annually. This program serves an educational cause while offering its sponsors and affiliate members a lasting impact. As an affiliate member of ISWDP, which is an academia-industry-driven certification program, presents an excellent opportunity for your institution/company to train its employees, showcase its brand, products, and developments, and efforts to a broad spectrum of stakeholders, including students, faculty, and industry peers. This affiliate membership provides a platform to gain visibility and recognition in both academic and industrial circles and promote your institution/company globally. The funds will enable the program to grow further allowing it to reach more participants and deliver even greater value. The affiliate members fall into the following 3 categories:

• Category A: Semiconductor/Chip Product Companies, Fabless Design Houses, Start-ups, Electronics Systems/Hardware Design and/or Manufacturing Firms, VLSI CAD Industry
• Category B: Semiconductor Test/Processing Equipment/Tool Manufacturers and Supply Chain Industry
• Category C: Leading Academic Institutions and Private/Deemed Universities
