1st National Industry Consortium Conference (NICC)
30 - 31 August, 2025 at Welcomhotel by ITC, Dwarka, Delhi
Purpose of the Industry Consortium Conference
- ★
As India enters semiconductor and package manufacturing with $10B incentives in Gujarat, Assam and other states, India needs to develop the entire ecosystem from design to R&D to technology development, manufacturing, products, applications and services as well as workforce development, to sustain its initial manufacturing. This ecosystem requires researchers, developers, suppliers for materials and tools, as well as manufacturers and users, from throughout the world. A National Industry Consortium (NICC) is being developed involving 50-100 global companies from the US, EU, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and India and 50 top Indian research academic institutions.
- ★
The purpose of this 1st National Industry Consortium Conference is to bring the entire team of faculty, students, and industry partners together to set up the consortiums to achieve three goals: Next-gen manufacturing research, workforce development and industry prototypes using pilot lines.

Technical and Workforce Focus
India requires 12 strategic technologies classified under four key categories—Design, Devices, Packaging, and Systems. To build a sustainable semiconductor ecosystem, national co-development centers are proposed across the country, each supporting research, skill-building, and pilot manufacturing.
- Design: System, Package, and IC design
- Devices: CMOS, Power, and Silicon photonics
- Packaging: Materials, Glass substrates, Co-Packaged Optics, Cu-Cu IC Assembly, and Thermal management
- Systems: 3D Chiplet logic-memory, Integrated power modules, IoT MEMS, 3D antenna modules for 6G
- System level electrical test and cooling technologies (conductive, convective, liquid)
- 12 national co-development centers proposed to drive next-gen R&D and workforce development
OVERVIEW
PURPOSE OF THE INDUSTRY CONSORTIUM CONFERENCE
The Indian Design, Semiconductors, Packaging and Systems Program (IDSPS Program) is a national R&D, educated-workforce and global supply-chain industry program with a critical mass team and infrastructure to build India from ground up in all strategic Design, Semiconductors, Packaging and Systems technologies to provide a sustainable path for manufacturing to grow the semiconductor industry for AI era.
Goals of IDSPS Program:
• Next Gen Strategic Designs & Technologies
• Next gen Educated - Workforce.
• Global Supply - chain partnership to design and demonstrate manufacturable technologies
Why IDSPS Program ?
While the initial ISM-subsidized manufacturing lines in Gujarat and Assam are based on legacy-node technologies, the rest of the advanced world is focusing on 2030 manufacturing technologies, such as optoelectronics for computing, compound semiconductors to form ultrahigh density integrated power modules for electric cars, glass panel chiplet packaging to 1 micron lithography in 3D chiplet architectures, and copper-to copper or hybrid bonding, and assembly, replacing solders, for AI era in view of slowdown of Moore’s Law. These are exactly the same technologies being developed in the IDSPS program to bring India to global level with a sustainable manufacturing path.
