1005 GMT - Asia will likely play a more important part in the semiconductor ecosystem than it does today, says David Goeckeler, chairman of U.S. computer tech company Sandisk, at Semicon Southeast Asia. The entire world woke up after Covid-19 and realized the importance of developing their semiconductor industries, he says. "Every country wants a share of the pie." But given the robust growth of the industry, the pie is also getting bigger, he adds. "This is not a zero-sum game." The semiconductor industry, which is in an upward cycle now, provides a lot of opportunities and emerging countries are great places to invest, he says. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
