DESCRIPTION:What does it take to turn an idea into a successful company? Jo
 in IEEE SSCS Scotland for an evening panel with three leaders from Scotlan
 d's semiconductor industry as they share their experiences of building\, g
 rowing and leading semiconductor businesses.\n\nOur panellists:\n- David M
 ilne - Ex-CEO and Co-Founder of Wolfson Microelectronics\n- Jed Hurwitz - 
 ADI\n- Simon Quinn - Dukosi\n\nThe panel will cover the journey from early
 -stage startup to established company\, the challenges of commercialising 
 silicon\, raising investment\, building strong engineering teams\, and wha
 t the future holds for semiconductor innovation in Scotland. The discussio
 n will be followed by an audience Q&A.\n\nThis event is open to everyone\,
  from undergraduate and postgraduate students considering careers in elect
 ronics to engineers thinking about starting their own venture and industry
  professionals interested in Scotland's rich semiconductor ecosystem.\n\nF
 ood and refreshments will be provided.\n\nEvent details:\nDate: Wednesday
