Israel is always a great place to visit, be it for business or pleasure. The people, the cutting-edge technology and advanced products, the food, the history, and the beautiful landscape all leave you with never a dull moment.

Technology, in Israel, is one of the country’s most developed sectors and semiconductors are a key growth area, seen by the numerous start-ups—independent or acquired. The percentage of Israelis engaged in science and technology, and the amount spent on R&D in relation to GDP, is amongst the highest in the world.

In the surprising rain showers of April, SemIsrael and Design & Reuse hosted the D&R and SemIsrael IP-SoC Day in the Green Villa, close to Tel Aviv University.

Over 150 local and international experts attended this second IP-SoC Day, which will now become an annual conference. The presenters were from several leading IP companies based around the world, who shared their visions, products, and problems they solve. These were accompanied by industry insight from Design & Reuse, end customer perspective from Mobileye, and IP delivery and EDA-related topics by vendors such as Leading Edge, Design & Reuse, Cadence, and Evatronix.
