European Specialty Gas Summit 2024 - Utrecht | gasworld | 10 June 2024 | Van der Valk Hotel Utrecht, Netherlands, Winthontlaan 4, 3526 KV Utrecht, Netherlands

A 2.5 day event devoted to the fast-moving world of electronics, specialty gases and technologies in Europe.

If chips are the new oil, powering the digital age, then what does that make the critical specialty gases and electronics materials behind them?

Semiconductor demand has never been higher globally, with the ongoing rise of quantum computing looming large on the horizon, a new digital age already unfolding before us, and pent-up demand for electronic chips from the automotive and devices markets to name a few.

Against the backdrop of heightened questions over resource security, well-documented chip shortages and a vulnerable supply chain as war is waged on the continent, the €43bn EU Chips Act is designed to domesticate electronics manufacture in Europe once again. The Act offers to reinvigorate semiconductor production in Europe and migrate chips production away from Asia.

R&D organisations are coming forward with projects for the European ecosystem for semiconductor start-ups and scale-ups, while heavyweight names in the semiconductor space continue to drop hints at new Europe-based projects. But is the specialty gases and electronics materials (EM) supply chain ready to meet the demand?

Join gasworld this June for its first-ever Summit, devoted to addressing all of the key trends in specialty gas markets, unearthing the answers to those questions, and bringing together the analysts, end-users, and specialty gas producers and innovators that will realise this bright new future in industry and digital.

This is a dynamic 2.5 day event to reflect the fast-paced marketplace for electronics and specialty gases in Europe – and the array of questions still waiting to be asked.

All things specialty gases

There also exist diverse opportunities well beyond the semiconductor industry.

Chips may be the new gold rush, but applications such as additive manufacturing (AM), healthcare and environmental are all driving ever-greater demands in specialty gas purities and supply. Specialty gases have become critical components for almost every industry and walk of life today.

• So what’s the state-of-play in Europe’s specialty and rare gases business?
• And how can the region’s specialty gases industry meet these increasing demands?
