The Semiconductor and Electronics Industries in the Philippines Foundation, Inc. (SEIPI) is holding the 21st Philippine Semiconductor & Electronics Convention and Exhibition (PSECE 2026) on October 26–28, with emphasis this year on regional collaboration as the country chairs the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
“PSECE has always served as a platform for meaningful dialogue and collaboration within the semiconductor and electronics industry. By integrating a stronger ASEAN dimension, we aim to create more opportunities for cooperation that support innovation, talent development and sustainable industry growth across the region,” SEIPI president Dr. Dan Lachica said.
The annual event, to be held at the SMX Convention Center Manila, brings together top executives, technical experts, government leaders, the academe, and solution providers to drive innovation, strengthen industry linkages, and position the Philippines as a competitive and future-ready hub in the global semiconductor and electronics value chain.
The semiconductor and electronics industry remains the Philippines’ largest export sector, accounting for most of the country’s merchandise exports and employing hundreds of thousands of Filipino workers.
This year’s convention places a stronger emphasis on regional collaboration as the Philippines holds the chairmanship of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
A key highlight of the convention will be the ASEAN Semiconductor and Electronics Forum (ASEF) 2026, to be held on October 26 under the theme “One ASEAN, One Semiconductor Future: Building Resilient and Sustainable Global Value Chains.”
Hosted by SEIPI as part of PSECE 2026, ASEF 2026 will convene regional industry leaders, policymakers and innovators to examine ASEAN’s growing role in the global semiconductor ecosystem.

Discussions will focus on strengthening regional integration, advancing semiconductor-enabled technologies and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven industries, and promoting sustainable and resilient manufacturing practices in line with the Philippine ASEAN chairship theme, “Navigating Our Future, Together.”
Shifting supply chains, new technologies
The event comes at a time when semiconductor and electronics manufacturing continue to play a critical role in economic growth, technological advancement, and regional integration. As companies adapt to shifting global supply chains and emerging technologies, collaboration across sectors has become increasingly important in building resilient and future-ready ecosystems.
PSECE 2026 will feature plenary discussions, technical symposiums, executive forums, networking sessions, and a comprehensive exhibition showcasing products, technologies, services, and innovations from local and international participants.

Dedicated spaces for international pavilions and academe-led initiatives will further encourage knowledge exchange and partnership-building among stakeholders.
More than an annual gathering, PSECE 2026 seeks to foster conversations that can translate into concrete partnerships, policy discussions, investment opportunities and workforce initiatives that will help strengthen both the Philippines’ and ASEAN’s position in the global electronics value chain.
Through PSECE 2026 and ASEF 2026, SEIPI aims to contribute to these efforts by providing a platform where different sectors can work together toward a more competitive, resilient and sustainable ASEAN semiconductor ecosystem.
