More than 60 semiconductor employers offered over 1,500 job opportunities, compared with just over 600 last year.
The summit's conference programme featured 40 speakers from Malaysia and abroad. It comprised the Semiconductor Conference on Oct 15 and the AI Innovation Conference on Oct 16. Exhibits at KLCC included more than 20 robots and autonomous machines.
Held within the Selangor International Business Summit (SIBS) 2026, AiSEM took place at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur. Sidec organised it alongside the Malaysia Semiconductor IC Design Park and ASEM.
Sidec chief executive officer Yong Kai Ping said the next task was to convert connections established at the summit into contracts, products and jobs.
