the
various

conventions.
”

This whole day convention has been the tradition of the NWC Officers and its members yearly since 2004
and is considered as the annual gathering of the entire NWC volunteers. It is during this time of the year that the
NWC Officers and volunteers get to actively involve themselves in an industry event. Due to the success of the
PSECE 2008, SEIPI has committed its full support to vigorously campaign for the NWC Convention as it targets to
increase magnanimously the attendees of the SEIPI Networking Committee Conventions and to, hopefully, surpass
yet another milestone.

*The networking committees act as the platforms for benchmarking and

exchanging ideas among top and midlevel managers of the various member
 companies. The NWC Officers and its members regularly meet monthly for a
learning session. SEIPI member companies may send their respective executives
to attend. For inquiries please send an email to katlorin@seipi.org.ph.

Everyone was able to efficiently contribute to achieving the planning session objectives
that are: 1) to understand where the industry and the country is today, 2) to determine the
role of SEIPI in promoting the country as a site for investments, and 3) to create a
guide/process to enhance the industry’s business environment by identifying the top key growth
opportunities and developing tangible programs and projects for 2008-2009.
2008 ISSUE 2 PAGE 11

After a thorough discussion of the previous Focus Areas and Programs of SEIPI on the year 2007, the group
was asked to breakout into three (3) teams. The first team was composed of the SEIPI Board and CEOs, the
second team was composed of all NWC Chairpersons, and the third team was composed of the SEIPI OMG.

Key Growth Opportunities

All three (3) groups were tasked to identify the top four (4) opportunities that the industry can take
advantage of and the difficulties that might diminish competitiveness of both the country and the industry.

In the plenary, the top (4) identified Key Growth Opportunities are as follows:

1. Integrated Industry (Government Strategy for Market Growth) 2.

Unified Competency Development Strategy
3. Aggressive Industry Marketing Campaign 4.
Supply Chain Development

Another important growth opportunity that has been identified is the Cost and Availability of
Infrastructure particularly power, water, transportation, roads and airports.

Priority Programs for 2008-2009

Upon determining the top four (4) Key Growth Opportunities, another breakout session was held having the
same groupings. The objective this time is for each group to come up with tangible programs aligned with the
identified opportunities for both the country and the industry.
In summary the four (4) SEIPI Prioritized Programs for 2008-2009 are as follows:

1. Investment Promotion Program

2. Develop a Semiconductor University Model 3.
Supply Chain Development
4. Drive Manufacturing Excellence

At about 4:30 in the afternoon, the group took the opportunity to visit TI’s on-going construction site at
Clark that is expected to be operational in September 2008.

To end a productive day, a fellowship dinner was held at the Yats Wine Cellar as an act of appreciation for
everyone who attended the Planning Session and willingly shared their time and knowledge for the
development of the industry and the organization.
