Big questions. Three choices.
One decision.

Watch industry leaders make the call, and unpack the decisions, disruptions and opportunities shaping the future of semiconductors.

Imagine What’s Next

What would you make possible with a chip?

Discover how our next generation imagines a smarter, better and more connected world through “I want to chippify…”

Personal Learning Devices

I would chipify learning devices. Advanced semiconductor chips could enable personalised learning that adapts to each student’s pace, identifies learning gaps and delivers tailored content, making education more engaging and effective.

By Lai Linlang, NUS

Intelligent Safety Companion

I would chipify an intelligent safety companion. Small, low-power wearables powered by AI-enabled semiconductors could detect falls, unusual movements and distress signals in real time, enabling faster alerts, greater privacy and proactive personal safety.

By Oviya Chandru, NUS

Chairs

I want to chipify chairs, to automate them such that they can be automatically moved in certain preferred configuration in events, banquet etc, without wasting time and manpower resources to move each chair. And for some chair, we can also remotely activate massages with user ergonomics.
