The Fort Worth Press - Silicon Box Enables Flexible Semiconductor Supply Chains with Advanced Packaging Technology, CEO Dr. Byung Joon Han speaks to Bloomberg News at the New Economy Forum

In an exclusive interview on the forum grounds, with Avril Hong and Shery Ahn for The Asia Trade segment on Bloomberg TV, Dr. Han shared his perspective on the current state of Silicon Box's business and the semiconductor industry, growth in AI demand, and the company's expansion plans.

Key Insights from the interview

• Navigating supply chain disruptions caused by geopolitical tensions has become the new normal for the semiconductor industry. Legacy businesses face increasing challenges, but new companies introducing new and flexible solutions to customers have the opportunity to build supply chains that meet these emergent industry realities. "I think it is an opportunity for us because [we] have the luxury [to enable customers to] design a new supply chain [unlike] a big, [legacy] company having to change [their existing supply chain], which is not an easy job," shared Dr. Han.

Advancing semiconductor technology relies on innovation corridors

"Our CEO's conversation with Bloomberg News, during the New Economy Forum, was unexpectedly timely. The theme of this year's forum and key takeaways from many of the speakers participating in the event, aligns well with the vision and values of Silicon Box to advance technology and supply chain agility through collaboration and pragmatism," shared Mike Han, Head of Business who was also present at the event.

"We were impressed with the forum, which featured highly current conversations and perspectives from global leaders across business and policy that were notably candid and insightful. This encouraged attendees to think harder about the current situation, from different angles. With the emergence of the digital era or 'new economy', it will be increasingly important to have forums like these to nurture the understanding and collaboration necessary to ensure the decisions we make will serve the best interests of humanity. This is part of Silicon Box's mission statement, and we appreciate the opportunity to attend this event."

Silicon Box's recent achievement in reaching high-volume production at high yield and its commitment to open a second factory in Novara, Piedmonte, with the support of the European Commission and Italian central government under the EU Chips Act; both mark significant milestones for proving advanced panel-level semiconductor packaging and chiplet technologies. At the same time, these milestones demonstrate the importance of strategic policy making and international collaboration to deploy critical innovation at scale during this time of rapid geopolitical change and technological development.
