2022 International Integrated Circuit Exhibition and Seminar held 18 major projects in related industries in Nanjing this year.

　　From August 16th to 17th, 2022 International Integrated Circuit Exhibition and Seminar was held in Nanjing International Expo Center. Cadence, ADI, Anmou Technology, Imagination and many other well-known international and local semiconductor suppliers and distributors participated in the exhibition to showcase their excellent solutions and products and share the resources of industrial supply chain.

　　At the same time, the exhibition held two summit forums and three technical forums, and more than 100 well-known experts and entrepreneurs in the fields of electronics and applications at home and abroad attended and shared, focusing on the frontier topics of vertical industries, covering IC design, SoC design, carbon neutrality, MCU, EDA/IP, efficient power management and wide band gap semiconductor technology.

　　For example, the Tenth Five-Year Plan period is the key period for China’s "peak carbon dioxide emissions Carbon Neutralization", which is a challenge and an opportunity for the electronics industry. The 2022 International Carbon Neutralization Electronic Industry Development Summit Forum was held on the morning of 16th, and experts from various fields in the semiconductor industry comprehensively analyzed the "carbon neutrality" policy and market, and empowered "carbon neutrality" from the perspective of semiconductor technology innovation. According to ADI, especially the renewable energy including wind energy and solar energy, building a clean, safe and efficient energy system is in urgent need of an energy storage system, while the energy storage system needs intelligent battery management chips to maximize the working efficiency of the energy storage system and get the best results. Their heavy product, high-precision 18-channel battery management chip, is aimed at the industrial power grid energy storage, standby battery system and high-power portable equipment market, and can measure up to 18 battery cells connected in series, with a total measurement error of less than 3.0mV. Sun Wenjian, CEO of this core technology, believes that as the core productivity of the digital economy, computing power has become the new focus of global strategic competition, and the construction of the next generation of green computing power is also an important part of achieving carbon neutrality. In the current mainstream CPU architecture, Arm architecture has the advantage of low power consumption, which is very consistent with the future development trend of green and low carbon. From the market point of view, the transformation curtain of Arm from low computing power to high performance computing is rapidly opening.

　　The EDA/IP and IC Design Forum provides EDA tools and IP solutions for many enterprises involved in IC design. The MCU Technology and Application Forum will bring together technology and application experts in the field of microcontrollers to discuss hot topics such as the latest processor technology, edge AI, emerging applications and ecological development. The 2022 China IC Leaders Summit will be held on the morning of 17th. With the theme of "20 years, forge ahead", experts and business leaders in semiconductor industry will be invited to review the development of China semiconductor industry in the past 20 years with senior engineers, technical and supply chain professionals and business executives in China electronics and IC design industry, and discuss the development path of China semiconductor in the next decade.

　　The reporter learned that in 2021, Nanjing’s integrated circuit industry chain continued to maintain rapid development, and 183 enterprises above designated size achieved a cumulative revenue of 47.525 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 17.7%. Among them, there are 155 IC design industries, 2 wafer manufacturing industries, 8 packaging and testing industries and 18 IC support industries. At present, Nanjing has formed a spatial layout of integrated circuit industry with Jiangbei New District as "one core", Jiangning Development Zone and Nanjing Economic Development Zone as "two wings", and Nanjing Software Valley, Xuzhuang Software Park and Qilin Science and Technology Park as "three bases". In the Plan of Major Projects for Economic and Social Development in Nanjing in 2022, the total planned investment of 420 major projects promoted in Nanjing this year reached 1.4682 trillion yuan, with an annual planned investment of 236.1 billion yuan. Among them, there are 18 projects involving semiconductors and integrated circuits with a total investment of about 36.711 billion yuan.
