July 12, 2016 (SAN FRANCISCO, CA) – Today marks the first of the three day SEMICON West Annual Conference, hosted in San Francisco, California, where CEO Alexander “Sandy” Mathes, Jr., is representing Otsego Now and participating in the NYS Trade Booth. SEMICON West is the premier annual event for the global microelectronics industry – an estimated $82 billion market – and is expected to host 30,000 attendees this year. Mathes is attending the event as part of a New York State delegation including economic developers, academics, and high-tech manufacturers and service providers: This group, “NY Loves Nanotech,” will promote New York as a place to invest and do business in the advanced technology industry.
During a time of rapid change in the industry – increasing, consolidating, shrinking development cycles, smart manufacturing, disruptive trends in technology – SEMICON West is seen as a must-attend event for economic development organizations seeking to partner with advanced-technology companies. Each day of the conference will be filled with technical and business programs, as well as receptions at which attendees will have access to thought leaders and decision-makers from up and down the electronics manufacturing supply chain. “I am thrilled to be part of a dynamic New York Team promoting our state and Otsego County. This opportunity allows me to market our shovel-ready sites to a broad and diverse audience and build relationships within the advanced technology sector”, added Mr. Mathes.
