The mission of GSA is to accelerate the growth and increase the return on invested capital of the global semiconductor industry by fostering a more effective fabless ecosystem through collaboration, integration and innovation. To fulfill this mission, GSA will address the challenges and enable industry-wide solutions within the supply chain, including intellectual property (IP), electronic design automation (EDA)/design, wafer manufacturing, test and packaging. The Alliance will provide a platform for meaningful global collaboration; identify and articulate market opportunities; encourage and support entrepreneurship; and provide members with comprehensive and unique market intelligence. , ~2 _' [) K% \8 K.

FSA has made a significant impact on the industry since its inception in 1994. Today, companies like NVIDIA, Broadcom and MediaTek are bastions of innovation, and this year the fabless segment is expected to generate over $50 billion in revenue. Furthermore, there are hundreds of entrepreneurs creating innovations that will fuel future growth of the industry. ! _. M3 B: ~3 m0 i' u. k7 `& O% v/ k6 g2 T# `& M" S! _- ?/ K5 k I
"Since 1994, the growth of the FSA from a handful of companies to 500 members worldwide speaks to the value of the organization and its founding mission," said Wim Roelandts, president, chief executive officer and chairman of Xilinx, Inc. and chairman of the Semiconductor Industry Association. "This next phase in its evolution as the Global Semiconductor Alliance is an exciting time, as it continues to support the overall growth of the semiconductor industry alongside complementary organizations."- E/ Y) k' L- z8 S
