Global Semiconductor Alliance

The Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA) is a non-profit semiconductor organization which was founded in 1994 (as the Fabless Semiconductor Association (FSA)) to support the worldwide adoption of the fabless semiconductor business model. GSA transitioned in 2007 from FSA to GSA to recognize that its original mission to proliferate the adoption of the fabless business model has been achieved and also reflect the role GSA has played as a global semiconductor organization.

Today, the organization's efforts are focused on initiatives to promote the growth and profitability of the entire semiconductor supply chain and has grown to more than 400 corporate members, representing 25 countries across the globe

GSA’s mission is to accelerate the growth and increase the return on invested capital of the global semiconductor industry by fostering a more effective fabless ecosystem through collaboration, integration and innovation. To fulfill this mission, GSA will address the challenges and enable industry-wide solutions within the supply chain, including intellectual property (IP), electronic design automation (EDA)/design, wafer manufacturing, test and packaging. The Alliance provides a platform for meaningful global collaboration; identifies and articulates market opportunities; encourages and supports entrepreneurship; and provides members with comprehensive and unique market intelligence.

GSA remains committed to encourage and support entrepreneurship. GSA has established the Emerging Company CEO Council, increased the number of emerging companies participating in its regional Councils and continues to work closely with the venture capital (VC) community.

GSA addresses regional challenges and opportunities within Asia through its AP Leadership Council, as well as with offices in Taiwan and China. Its EMEA Leadership Council has expanded to include industry leaders from the United Kingdom, Germany, Israel, Belgium and France. GSA will also align with regional organizations to complement their services, while avoiding duplication of resources. Leadership
