We were honored to host Laith Altimime, President of SEMI Europe, during his visit to Okmetic as part of his engagement with the Finnish semiconductor ecosystem on February 4-5, 2025.

As a leading supplier of silicon wafers supporting the MEMS, RF, and Power device markets, Okmetic was proud to highlight our commitment to advancing semiconductor technologies. During his visit, we showcased our ongoing fab expansion and the crucial role we play in the European semiconductor value chain.

Mr. Altimime’s visit to Finland, led by VTT, included an introduction to the Finnish semiconductor ecosystem and industrial strategy, emphasizing Finland’s role within the broader European context. He met with several semiconductor companies, research entities, universities, governmental representatives, and the Semiconductor Branch of the Technology Industry. These discussions highlighted the collaborative efforts to drive innovation and strengthen Europe’s semiconductor sector.

As part of our ongoing efforts to support the European semiconductor ecosystem, Okmetic is proud to be involved in the SEMI-led European Chips Skills Academy project. This initiative aims to address the talent gap in the semiconductor industry, further enhancing Europe’s global competitiveness.

With initiatives like Chips from the North, Finland continues to play a key role in shaping Europe’s semiconductor future. We are excited about the continued growth and collaboration within the European semiconductor industry and look forward to contributing further to its success!
