As the Russia-Ukraine conflict further disrupts the semiconductor industry, it might have also accelerated localization of supply chain. However, it remains a question whether a regional supply chain could be more resilient than a global one. While Lita Shon-Roy, President and CEO of TECHCET, believes every region would still need to go through a learning curve and companies must learn to make profit without global sales.

Ms. Shon-Roy has worked throughout the semiconductor supply chain, leading strategy, business development, marketing and sales for chip designers, equipment OEMs, and material suppliers for over 30 years.
