Electronic industry has entered into the age of SoC since the entire electronic industry has moved into a consumer-dominant age. Electronic products’ upgrading has been quickened and consumer needs are more individualized. Electronic manufacturers, no matter upstream or downstream of the industrial chain, must develop system-level solutions while facing market demands of the consumers and can’t just do the patchwork. No matter EDA, IP, chip manufacturer or the entire system equipment manufacturers under traditional concept, they would have the whole system in mind when developing their own products.

　　“China Electronic Innovation and Application Summit 2006” to be held concurrently with 68th China Electronics Fair and Asia Electronics Exhibition 2006 will be hosted on 24th Nov. 2006 and will bridge together two groups of semiconductor and system manufacturers so that they will talk about cooperation and innovation on a common platform regarding innovation elements in SoC era, the opportunity of innovation for China’s electronic industry, status quo and trend of innovation in the international electronic sector, innovation and application in wireless and multimedia field, low power consumption and energy-saving design, cooperation between IC designers and IDH and entire system manufacturers, joint innovation and supply chain synergy and etc. This forum will be sponsored by the Ministry of Information Industry Economic System Reform and Economic Operation Division and organized by China Electronic Appliance Corporation and “Electronic Business China” magazine. At that time, 100 strong electronic enterprises, IC tycoons and representatives of the industrial chain will get together in Pudong, Shanghai to celebrate this great event.
