The Conference and Social Impact Workshop “Diverging Pathways toward Silicon Future: Geopolitics and the Development of the Semiconductor Industry”, organised by the David C. Lam Institute for East-West Studies (LEWI), Hong Kong Baptist University, is set to take place on 15–16 June 2026. This event, the first transdisciplinary initiative of its kind in Hong Kong, aims to bring together scholars, industry experts, policymakers, and community stakeholders to explore the semiconductor’s role as a technological foundation, geopolitical and socio-economic force. This two-day event will bridge the technological aspects of chip architectures with global politics, human creativity, and digital transformation, linking STEM fields with social sciences and humanities, and cultivating innovative research clusters that intersect technology, society, and geopolitics.
