THE SEMICON SUMMIT — DUBAI 2025: SOVEREIGNTY BUILT ON SILICON

UAE to host the Gulf’s first convening dedicated to semiconductors as instruments of national resilience and industrial sovereignty.

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, October 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The United Arab Emirates will host the inaugural Semicon Summit — Dubai 2025 on 9– 10 December 2025 at Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk. Under the theme “From Circuit to Sovereignty,” the Summit reframes the semiconductor from a mere component into a cornerstone of national power, economic independence, and sovereign identity.

The Chip as a Sovereign Asset

In an era where oilfields have given way to fabrication plants as the new measure of strategic weight, the semiconductor decides the pace of artificial intelligence, the strength of energy grids, the continuity of mobility, and the security of nations. Against the backdrop of fractured supply chains and rising geopolitical rivalries, Dubai will stand as the meeting ground where ministers, sovereign investors, and global chipmakers set the agenda for the next industrial age.
