Covid-19

At this difficult time we hope that all our readers, sponsors and their families are staying safe and well. These are unprecedented times, in which we must all stand together. Along with the difficulties we are all facing personally, there is of course a serious impact on the semiconductor industry, but I fully believe that in time it will bounce back and we will return to normality. We at Semiconductor Today are committed to continuing our coverage of the industry. As our staff are home-office based, the disruption to our service will be minimal, if at all.

If we can do anything to assist your business, then please let us know … Darren@semiconductor-today.com

Good fortune, everyone.
