Organized by the University of Grenoble Alpes (UGA), this tech&fest-certified conference will be held in English and attended by Professor W. John Kao, President of NTHU University in Taiwan, and Professor Yassine Lakhnech, President of UGA.

Semiconductors are now at the heart of global digital and industrial transformation, raising major challenges in terms of technological sovereignty, economic competitiveness, and strategic security. Taiwan occupies a central place in this context, both through its industrial excellence and the density of its research, Education innovation ecosystems, foremost among which is Hsinchu, Taiwan's semiconductor epicenter. For its part, Grenoble Alpes, a true hub for microelectronics and Europe's Silicon Valley, accounts for nearly a quarter of French jobs in the sector and is home to numerous cutting-edge laboratories, underscoring its strategic role on various scales. The presence of Professor Kao, President of NTHU—a world-renowned university in this field—provides unique and first-rate insight into these major issues.

The Méliès Cinema is hosting a special screening of the film Le Gâteau du Président (The President's Cake), a poignant comedy-drama set in Saddam Hussein's Iraq. The film follows 9-year-old Lamia, who is given the daunting task of baking a cake to celebrate the president's birthday. Accompanied by her friend Saeed, she sets out to find the necessary ingredients. This seemingly innocuous quest reveals the harshness of daily life and the violence of an oppressive regime.

A special session not to be missed, featuring Daniel Meier, Doctor of Political Science at Sciences Po Grenoble - UGA, Junior Professor Chair on Borders in the Middle East, and member of the CERDAP laboratory.
