TowerJazz's Technical Global Symposium (TGS) Korea commenced with a keynote speech from our CEO, Russell Ellwanger highlighting our latest business achievements and providing an update on our facility in Nishiwaki, Japan to the over 120 participants including our current and potential Korean customers. Next, we provided an overview on our broad range of process offerings including: SiGe, BiCMOS, CMOS image sensor (CIS), power management (BCD), and others. In addition, we shared our design enablement capabilities such as our sophisticated set of design kits, accurate models and comprehensive analog IP portfolio. Our survey results indicated that attendees found our event informational and beneficial. This was our second TGS in Korea, and this year's event was even better attended and more successful than before. This coincides with our mantra as we continue our “Pursuit of Excellence” in every aspect of our business.
We would like to thank our sponsors for their support:
