In a surprising move SEMI Europe has decided to move the location of it’s annual gathering to Dresden. Having only just moved to Stuttgart last year it appears that 2008 marks the last time that the new Stuttgart venue will be used.
Heinz Kundert, President of SEMI Europe said. "This venue will foster more efficient industry supply chain interaction and strengthen dialogue between the various stakeholders about competitiveness and the advancement of the European semiconductor industry."

Roughly translated this means that the new event venue will be closer to AMD, Qimonda, and Infineon fabs, as well as a large proportion of the PV manufacturing community based in Saxony.
SEMICON Europa is in it’s 32nd year.
