Semiconductor Australia 2025: Where Innovation Meets Investment
Australia’s premier conference, showcasing the nation’s best and brightest semiconductor, quantum, defence and AI technologies is back – bigger, bolder, and more ambitious than ever.
Following the sell-out success of its inaugural event, Semiconductor Australia 2025 returns on Wednesday 22 October 2025 at the iconic ILUMINA in Sydney, to power the national conversation around deep-tech as Australia’s next economic growth engine and why building on our sovereign strengths matter.
Tickets are now on-sale to one of the most in-demand events on the innovation calendar, providing a front-row seat to the companies, technologies, and policy frameworks shaping Australia’s role in the global tech-stack.
Why it Matters
One of the most important insights from last year’s conference was the significant gap in understanding – across both markets and policymakers – of the technical and commercial depth of talent already onshore here in Australia, and the foundations and roadmaps of deep technology companies to unlock their potential.
Semiconductors are the single most important technology on the planet, underpinning all advanced capabilities from quantum, AI, defence, renewables, electronics, aviation, to biomedical applications – semiconductors power it all.
The chips and quantum sector are projected to be worth $6 billion and employ almost 20,000 Australians by 2045, with the technology having far-reaching economic, strategic and social impacts.
Despite this critical importance, the sector remains relatively misunderstood in Australia.
Just a small fraction of ASX-listed companies today operates in the chips and quantum sector, compared with 15% of the NASDAQ, highlighting both the challenge and the opportunity for local investors.
This year’s conference will provide insight into how Australia can grow its presence in the semiconductor, quantum, and photonics supply chains while giving investors early exposure to breakthrough opportunities.
On the Agenda
- Chip diplomacy – uniting policy, capital, and capability to leverage Australia’s intellectual horsepower in the global chips race
- Where Quantum and AI collide – Australia’s rising superpower in the global tech stack
- Leading from the front – tech sovereignty, strategic deterrence, and building Australia’s innovation arsenal
- Scale-up stage – start-ups and scale-ups pitching to top-tier investors
- Expert roundtables, sector showcases, and policy insight
- VIP networking, media access, and a celebration of local innovation
Secure your spot to engage directly with the companies building Australia’s next wave of globally competitive technology.
