On May 21, 2026, a representative of Kanetora attended EnvisionTech Vietnam 2026, a technology event organized by Infineon Technologies at Meliá Hanoi. Under the theme “Building Tomorrow’s Innovations: AI, IoT & Green Energy,” the event brought together experts and professionals in semiconductors, power electronics, smart connectivity, automation and next-generation technology applications.
Representing Kanetora, Mr. Tran Le Quan – Head of International Business joined the event to update in-depth insights into the development trends of the semiconductor industry, especially the applications that are driving demand for materials, components and high-tech supply chains worldwide.
From Application Trends to the Fundamental Role of Silicon Wafers
EnvisionTech Vietnam 2026 was not only a technology showcase, but also a clear reflection of where the semiconductor industry is heading in its next stage of development. The agenda covered a wide range of topics, including Gallium Nitride, smart home technologies, intelligent audio devices, electric vehicle charging, telecom and satellite communication, robotics, drones, AI voice agents and quantum-resilient security.
Among these topics, the session “Smaller, faster, cooler: the power of Gallium Nitride products” highlighted a clear direction in the industry: electronic devices are expected to become smaller, faster, more energy-efficient and more reliable in high-power applications. This trend is reshaping the demand for next-generation semiconductor materials, while also creating higher requirements for wafer platforms, surface processing and the stability of input materials.
For Kanetora, these insights are highly relevant to its Silicon Wafer business, which includes product lines such as bare wafers, polished wafers, SOI wafers, epi wafers and substrate materials serving semiconductor manufacturing, research and testing applications. As the market expands across AI, IoT, green energy, smart devices and power electronics, the demand for high-quality wafer materials is becoming increasingly diverse and application-specific.
Semiconductors Are Entering a Broader Application Era
One of the key takeaways from the event was that semiconductor innovation is no longer limited to chips or individual components. Instead, it is becoming the foundation of many new product ecosystems across both daily life and industrial applications.
Topics such as induction cooking, home appliances, smart home HMI, LEV and AC charging, telecom and satellite communication, drones and robotics demonstrated how semiconductor technologies are increasingly embedded in modern systems.
This context is highly relevant for Kanetora as the company continues to monitor global market demand for semiconductor materials. As a supplier of silicon wafer products for industrial and technology customers, Kanetora focuses not only on commercial supply, but also on understanding end-use applications, technical standards and the evolving requirements of different customer groups within the semiconductor supply chain.
Vietnam’s Growing Role in the Regional Semiconductor Ecosystem
EnvisionTech Vietnam is part of EnvisionTech Asia Pacific 2026, a regional event series hosted by Infineon across several technology hubs in Asia-Pacific, including Vietnam, Australia, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia.
The inclusion of Vietnam in this regional program reflects the country’s increasingly visible role in the semiconductor ecosystem. Along with the national direction to further participate in the global semiconductor value chain, Vietnam is becoming a market where technology, materials, manufacturing capability and supply chain connectivity are gaining more attention.
In this context, Vietnamese enterprises operating in materials, components, technical trading and high-tech supply chains have more opportunities to expand their roles. For Kanetora, this creates momentum to further develop the Silicon Wafer business in a more professional, updated and market-oriented direction.
Kanetora: Connecting Markets, Updating Technologies and Supporting Semiconductor Customers
Kanetora’s participation in EnvisionTech Vietnam 2026 reflects the company’s proactive approach to keeping pace with new movements in the semiconductor industry. Instead of approaching the market only from a product perspective, Kanetora aims to better understand the application layers behind wafer demand, from power electronics and smart devices to automation, next-generation connectivity and energy-efficient solutions.
Through participation in specialized technology events, Kanetora gains stronger insights to update its product portfolio, engage with international partners and provide more suitable consultation for customers across the semiconductor supply chain.
Moving forward, Kanetora will continue to follow emerging technology trends, expand connections with domestic and international partners, and develop its Silicon Wafer business with a focus on quality stability, supply flexibility and alignment with the increasingly advanced requirements of the semiconductor industry.
