The Event

On September 12, join us for the third installment of Ted and Logan’s Briefings on High-Tech Industries. This session features Edward A. Snyder (Ted), former Dean of the Yale School of Management and Professor of Economics and Management, who teams up with Logan Bender ’19, technology investor, to dive into the forces reshaping the global semiconductor industry.

Why do some semiconductor giants thrive while others falter? How did NVIDIA, once a niche player, eclipse Intel to become the world’s most valuable company? What’s next for this trillion-dollar battleground? From geopolitical tensions to AI-driven demand, Ted and Logan will unpack key trends, corporate rivalries, and what to watch in the years ahead.
