Kista Insight: talent and specialist skills in the semiconductor industry

This Kista Insight session brings together leaders and researchers to explore a challenge that cuts across the semiconductor industry: how to secure the specialist skills the sector needs. The conversation will focus on the competence gap and what it will take to address it.

When

24 September 2026

12:00–13:00

Where

Kista Science Tower

Organiser

Kista Science City

A group of professionals networking in a bright, modern space with large glass windows and indoor plants. In the foreground, a man in a black turtleneck converses with a woman seen from behind, while a man in a brown checked blazer holds a drink in the background. To the right, two more colleagues chat over coffee. The relaxed setting suggests a business event break or informal gathering.

Semiconductors are at the heart of digital transformation, and advanced chip technology relies on highly specialised expertise. The shortage of specialist competence therefore matters both to companies in the semiconductor industry and to organisations that depend on the technology.

Participants will bring different perspectives from their own organisations and discuss how the challenge looks from different parts of the sector. The aim is to identify new ways forward and possible collaborations.

This event is by invitation only.
