UK companies are invited to register to attend a dedicated strategic industry briefing on the Philippine Electronics and Semiconductor Sector.

This tailored session is designed to deliver focused insights and engagement opportunities. The briefing is organised by PTIC-London and the Export Marketing Bureau, with the support of the UK Department for Business and Trade. It will feature in-depth discussions on synergies and complementarities between the Philippines and the UK, with presentations from the following leading Philippine companies:

• EMS Group - Turnkey EMS solutions, semiconductor test operations, and IC packaging

• Smartfox Data Solutions, Inc. - Fabless semiconductor design, verification, and software development

With over USD 45 billion in annual electronics exports and a global ranking of 9th in semiconductor exports (OECD, 2024), the Philippines is a recognised leader in assembly, testing, packaging, and increasingly in IC design and advanced EMS.

The program will include presentations, open discussion, and networking opportunities with company representatives and Philippine government officials. Key topics will include:

• Contract manufacturing and EMS capabilities for consumer, industrial, and automotive electronics

• IC design and R&D collaboration opportunities

• Supply chain diversification and sustainability advantages under the UK’s Developing Countries Trading Scheme (DCTS)
