Jemi France represented French suppliers to the semiconductor industry. Located at Minatec, with the backing of local authorities, Semi Europe-Grenoble Office now enjoys direct access to the European microelectronics industry. It will be well placed to promote the industry of southern Europe, in particular France, its undisputed leader, with a leading cluster in Grenoble, home to 15,000 direct jobs in this sector. The start of Semi Europe will contribute to consolidating the industry in Europe. Already represented in the world’s main economic centres (from Washington to Bangalore, through Beijing, Tokyo and Seoul), Semi supports industry growth by promoting international standards, lobbying, and organizing trade fairs and conferences.
