SilTest at Web Summit Qatar 2025: Showcasing Semiconductor Innovation

At Web Summit Qatar 2025, amid conversations about AI, deep tech, and digital transformation, SilTest brought a different but essential perspective:What happens after the silicon is built?

While much of the spotlight focused on AI models, edge computing, and cloud platforms, we focused on the foundation those systems rely on: semiconductor test, validation, and yield optimization.

And the interest was clear, across chip startups, innovation hubs, and engineering institutions, the question wasn’t why test matters. It was how to do it smarter.

Highlighting What Comes After Tape-Out

At our booth, we demonstrated how test and yield workflows are evolving—especially with the integration of AI and smarter data tooling. Our focus was not on theory, but on usable solutions that address real bottlenecks in modern semiconductor development.

YieldOptiX

A powerful STDF analysis suite that enables engineering teams to:

• Visualize and compare test performance across lots and wafers

• Detect patterns and correlations early using AI

• Eliminate repetitive scripting in JMP workflows

AutoMigreX

Our solution for automating test program migration across platforms—helping reduce manual work, lower risk, and enable faster ramp-up.

SilTest Academy

We also introduced our training programs, designed for engineering teams and universities to accelerate onboarding, upskilling, and real-world readiness in ATE workflows and debug processes.

Conversations That Mattered

Throughout the event, we engaged with a range of visitors—chip designers, data scientists, investors, and academics. The consistent thread was clear:There’s growing awareness that test engineering is a key enabler of innovation, especially when paired with scalable tools and domain-specific AI.

We discussed:

• How to reduce time from first silicon to volume ramp

• Why debug automation is becoming a competitive edge

• The role of data-driven qualification in improving yield

A Region Positioned to Lead

Web Summit Qatar also highlighted the increasing ambition of the Gulf region to take a larger role in global tech innovation, including semiconductors. From government-backed research initiatives to emerging fabless startups, there is strong momentum building.

SilTest is ready to support that momentum with practical tools, collaborative partnerships, and deep technical knowledge.

What Comes Next

We left Web Summit with new partnerships forming, joint research conversations underway, and a shared belief that post-silicon innovation is becoming a driver—not just a necessity.

Whether it’s smarter analytics, faster test engineering, or hands-on training—we’re building the systems that make scaling silicon possible.
