JEMI’s Aims
are to promote the development of a strong infrastructure to support the growth of companies wishing to design, develop and manufacture Semiconductor, and associated technologies, devices within the UK and Ireland. We also aim to foster and develop relationships between member companies in the Equipment and Materials supply sector as well as with end user companies and academic institutions.JEMI will enable you to fully develop your business in this exciting sector which enjoys good growth and significant Government backing and to enjoy enduring relationships that simply cannot be fostered in normal supplier/customer meetings where time is short and subjects are focussed on a few topics. JEMI’s ‘evening with’ dinners bring together suppliers with prospective customers and business partners in a convivial and open forum at which many long lasting and fruitful relationships have been forged, and are held regularly throughout the year alongside technical visits and workshops.
We have a strong network which extends throughout the UK and Ireland across mainland Europe and beyond which we leverage effectively to create business opportunities for our membership. Each year amongst other activities we organise a regular program of hosted and themed networking events designed to put our membership in touch with prospective customers and to highlight areas of new technology.
We run a regular series of events throughout the year to organisations throughout Europe. In addition we create business opportunities for members through our networking and lobbying activities.
