Semiconductors and Energy Transition: MENA's Path to Supply Chain Dependence

The semiconductor industry is critical to the energy transition, enabling solar power, grid optimization, energy storage, and electric vehicles. Yet, the MENA region remains largely dependent on imports for these essential components. This panel will explore how MENA nations can strengthen domestic semiconductor production, secure supply chains, and develop self-sufficiency in chip manufacturing for energy applications, aligning with national economic diversification and energy transition goals.
