The US Investment Forum is a flagship program jointly organized by SEMI Korea and SelectUSA, held during SEMICON Korea 2026, one of Asia’s largest and most influential semiconductor exhibitions. As Korea continues to serve as a global semiconductor powerhouse, SEMICON Korea provides a vital platform for business development, technology collaboration, and strategic investment dialogue across the global semiconductor value chain. 

This forum is designed to support Korean semiconductor companies considering investment opportunities in the United States—ranging from R&D centers and manufacturing sites to advanced packaging and supply-chain expansion. The program will share insights on semiconductor market trends, highlight the advantages of investing in the United States, introduce leading U.S. semiconductor ecosystems, and offer direct engagement with U.S. state and regional economic development organizations (EDOs).
