Australia’s semiconductor sector is heating up, and the upcoming Semiconductor Australia 2025 Conference is set to showcase the nation’s brightest deep-tech innovators, cutting-edge research, and the investors driving the next wave of advanced manufacturing.

Hosted in Sydney, the event brings together global and local leaders in semiconductors, AI, quantum computing, defence, and advanced photonics, alongside policymakers and venture investors.

It’s where Australia’s “chip diplomacy” meets capital markets, and where the country’s roadmap for deep-tech sovereignty will be defined.

Australia’s Deep-Tech Vanguard: ASX Leaders on Stage

A standout lineup of ASX-listed pioneers will headline the main stage, each pushing the boundaries of semiconductor, quantum, and AI technology:

  • Adisyn (ASX: AI1) – pioneering next-gen graphene-based semiconductor solutions for AI, data centres, defence, and high-performance computing, following its 2025 merger with 2D Generation.
  • Alpha HPA (ASX: A4N) – advancing ultra-high purity alumina production at its HPA First Project in Gladstone, a critical feedstock for semiconductors, LEDs, and EV batteries.
  • Archer Materials (ASX: AXE) – developing room-temperature quantum computing chips and biochips for real-time medical diagnostics, bridging biotech and semiconductor innovation.
  • BluGlass (ASX: BLG) – one of Australia’s only vertically integrated semiconductor manufacturers, producing GaN laser diodes for defence, quantum, and photonics applications, with facilities in both Australia and the US.
  • BrainChip (ASX: BRN) – a global leader in neuromorphic computing, delivering ultra-low-power AI processing at the edge via its Akida™ platform.
  • DroneShield (ASX: DRO) – showcasing its AI-enabled counter-drone and electronic warfare technologies, which are redefining modern defence applications.
  • Weebit Nano (ASX: WBT) – the only independent provider of qualified ReRAM memory technology, now licensed to major global foundries including onsemi and SkyWater Technology.

Other innovators include Quantum Brilliance, ResetData, Silicon Quantum Computing, Syenta, Innofocus, Visionary Machines, Hypersonix, and Morse Micro—each representing Australia’s growing footprint in the global semiconductor and quantum supply chain.

Shaping the Conversation: Chip Diplomacy and the Quantum Frontier

Semiconductor Australia 2025 isn’t just a showcase, it’s a strategic forum.
This year’s “Chip Diplomacy” panel, moderated by Market Eye founder Ronn Bechler, will tackle the big questions around Australia’s role in the global chips race, featuring:

  • Prof. Hugh Durrant-Whyte, NSW Chief Scientist & Engineer
  • Johanna Weaver, Tech Policy Design Institute
  • Coby Hanoch, CEO of Weebit Nano
  • Omer Granit, CEO of Amaero (ASX: 3DA)
  • Ingrid Marsh, Cicada Innovations
  • Mike Boers, Atto Devices

Meanwhile, the “Where Quantum & AI Collide” panel explores how these two transformative technologies can build Australia’s edge in the trillion-dollar global tech stack, a must-attend for investors eyeing the next wave of quantum and AI integration.

Why It Matters for Investors

Semiconductors underpin every modern technology, from electric vehicles to defence systems, AI to clean energy. With billions being invested globally by the US, EU, Japan, and South Korea, Australia’s opportunity lies in leveraging its deep-tech IP, talent base, and innovation partnerships to build sovereign capability and attract global capital.

For investors, Semiconductor Australia 2025 offers direct exposure to the people, companies, and technologies shaping that future, including a strong representation of ASX-listed innovators leading the charge into the global semiconductor value chain.
