What Semiconductors & Electronics Industries in the Philippines, Foundation does

SEIPI (Semiconductor and Electronics Industries in the Philippines Foundation, Inc.) is a non-profit industry association founded in 1984 and headquartered in Muntinlupa, Metro Manila, Philippines. It is the largest organization of foreign and Filipino electronics companies in the Philippines, serving the country's semiconductor manufacturing services (SMS, 73% of industry) and electronics manufacturing services (EMS, 27% of industry) sectors. The organization delivers services under the T.R.A.I.N.S. framework: Training, Research and Development/Roadmap, Advocacy, Information, Networking, and Services.

Its core offerings include membership services, the annual Philippine Semiconductor and Electronics Convention and Exhibition (PSECE) — which draws 320+ exhibiting companies and 6,000+ delegates — quarterly General Membership Meetings (GMMs), structured Networking Committees (NWCs) such as ASEMEP and AQPC, monthly Electronics Import/Export Reports, and a Career Center for workforce development. SEIPI also runs an Annual Business Partner program with corporate sponsors (including First Gen, Meralco, Globe Business, and Advent Energy) and represents the Philippines in the ASEAN semiconductor cooperation MOU.

SEIPI's revenue is generated through membership fees (subscription/recurring) and event revenue from PSECE exhibitor fees, delegate registrations, and sponsorships. The association is governed by a Board of Trustees and operates with 11-50 staff. It does not disclose its own financials publicly; available industry data (US$12.90 billion in cumulative electronics exports as of April 2023 YTD, representing 59.28% of total Philippine exports) reflects the underlying industry it serves, not SEIPI's own revenue. The association has no technology product line, no AI/ML capabilities, no disclosed funding rounds, and operates as a stable membership-based institution rather than a venture-backed entity.

Direct peers

• European Semiconductor Industry Association (ESIA): European-level semiconductor industry association representing national chip associations and member firms. SEIPI performs the equivalent national-coordination role within the Philippines context.
• SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International): Global semiconductor manufacturing supply chain association that runs the SEMICON trade shows and industry advocacy. SEIPI is the Philippines-equivalent national body serving SEMS and EMS members with membership services and large annual conventions.
• Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA): US-based trade association representing the semiconductor industry through policy advocacy, statistics, and industry events. Direct functional parallel to SEIPI as a national semiconductor industry body.
• Korea Semiconductor Industry Association (KSIA): National semiconductor industry association for Korea. Provides member services, training, policy advocacy, and industry statistics similar to SEIPI's TRAINS framework.
• Taiwan Semiconductor Industry Association (TSIA): Taiwan's semiconductor trade association handling industry coordination, R&D roadmap, and government advocacy. Closely mirrors SEIPI's structure and services in another Asian semiconductor hub.
• China Semiconductor Industry Association (CSIA): China's national semiconductor industry association with policy advocacy, statistics and trade show functions. Largest peer in terms of industry scale; second-largest destination for Philippine electronics exports.
• Singapore Semiconductor Industry Association (SSIA): Singapore's semiconductor industry association representing EMS and equipment firms. Comparable membership-driven model with similar advocacy and networking remit in a nearby regional market.
• Malaysian Semiconductor Industry Association (MSIA): Malaysia's national semiconductor industry association serving packaging, testing and EMS members. ASEAN peer with overlapping scope; SEIPI actively partners with MSIA in regional initiatives.

Broad incumbents

• Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA): Japan's large-scale electronics and IT industry association covering semiconductors, components and systems. Comparable industry association model at much larger scale, headquartered in Tokyo.
• SEMI Southeast Asia: Regional arm of SEMI serving Southeast Asia including the Philippines. Hosts SEMICON SEA and provides standards, advocacy, and networking competing directly with SEIPI for member mindshare.
