IESA Vision Summit 2014 focusses on "Made in India" Products

The annual industry conclave of the India Electronics and Semiconductor Association, IESA Vision Summit 2014 has been commenced with a call to action for developing electronic products from India, for global markets. The Summit theme “From Consumption to Creation” put a spotlight on the specific initiatives the Government of India and the industry should take to bolster and establish a strong design and manufacturing base in the country.

In its ninth year now, the annual two-day session showcased keynote speeches and panel discussions on policy, the role of State Governments, entrepreneurship and innovation and the experience of various players in the global electronics ecosystem. It also examined the critical and game-changing role the two proposed semiconductor wafer fabrication (fab) facilities will have on the Indian ESDM ecosystem.

Sanjeev Keskar, Chairman, IESA, said, “IESA has been a catalyst to the country’s ESDM ecosystem and, along with the Government of India, is fully committed to establishing a best-in-class design and manufacturing base in the country. IESA’s growing and diversified membership base is a proof of the strong focus around initiatives that are shaping the future of this industry which is founded on three imperatives – domestic manufacturing, indigenous design and worldwide marketing of products and solutions.”

IESA also signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Messe München International (MMI) to launch an industry symposium, DEFTRONICS focussed on aerospace and defence electronics to be held in Bangalore on September 23 & 24, 2014.

At Vision Summit 2014, IESA also released the IESA-UKTI report on “Strengthening the Indo-UK ESDM Sector”.
