The 22nd international conference on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) design and the 8th international conference on embedded systems was inaugurated at Taj Palace Hotel, Delhi yesterday. "The development of the semiconductor industry in India needs to be viewed from the strategic value it can add. There are multiple opportunities for innovation that abound for the semiconductor industry to pick and contribute," said Abhi Talwalkar, president and CEO, LSI Corporation, in his keynote.

Talwalkar added, "To give one example, for mobile penetration to grow beyond current levels, there needs to be towers in the remotest of areas of India, which could be made possible through advances in solar photovoltaic. There are many such opportunities across sectors like healthcare and energy, amongst others that the semiconductor can contribute and I am sure we will see that happening in the medium future."
According to Rajiv Kapur, managing director, Broadcom India and Special Sessions Chair, VLSI 2009, "The industry is unanimous in the view that there is a big opportunity, and the time has come for India driven and oriented innovation. That is why for the first time we have introduced a special session called Made for India forum which will showcase innovation targeted at the Indian market in the semiconductor space. There will also be deliberations on the road ahead, potential areas of focus etc. All of which will surely catalyse some significant initiatives in this direction in the days and months ahead."
A three-day technical programme starting 5 January 2009 will feature keynote and plenary talks by industry leaders, technical paper presentations that reflect the state-of-the-art in VLSI design and embedded systems. It will be followed by a two-day tutorial, design contest and EDA software contest.
