SEMICON Southeast Asia 2027 is scheduled for 25 to 27 May 2027 at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), Kuala Lumpur. Organised by SEMI, it is Southeast Asia’s leading exhibition and conference for the semiconductor manufacturing supply chain — equipment, materials, test, assembly and packaging.
Malaysia currently allows Indian passport holders visa-free entry for short visits under a temporary exemption; a Malaysia eVISA or a visa through the mission may be required for certain purposes or longer stays. Confirm the current rules on the official Malaysian Immigration portal before booking.
The event
About SEMICON Southeast Asia 2027
SEMICON Southeast Asia connects front-end and back-end semiconductor manufacturers with equipment and materials suppliers, test and packaging companies and technology providers. Southeast Asia — and Malaysia in particular — is a major hub for assembly, test and packaging, which makes this a focused sourcing and partnership event.
For Indian companies entering the semiconductor supply chain — in materials, components, equipment services or design — SEMICON Southeast Asia is a route to established regional manufacturers and to partners for assembly, test and packaging.
