SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA) today announces the GSA IC (International Collaboration) Series taking place in Hsinchu, Taiwan on September 29, 2009. Focused on the evolution of collaboration models for the semiconductor value chain, GSA, in collaboration with SAP and TSIA, brings together a team of experts to speak on how information technology can assist semiconductor companies to continuously grow, succeed and compete with the changing industry.

Today, successful semiconductor companies find themselves in markets allowing them to leverage pricing with profitability. They must focus on issues such as market economy, industry structure, product lifecycles and time-to-market. Meanwhile, they also need to possess diversified product portfolios and customer base within these markets to maintain a competitive advantage.

Semiconductor professionals will have opportunity to listen to representatives from industry leaders, TSMC and MediaTek, as well as network with colleagues and collaborate on future opportunities. The event is complimentary for all semiconductor professionals.
