Miyagi is located in the centre of the Tohoku (Northeast) region of Japan, just 90 minutes from Tokyo. The region serves as a hub for advanced research institutions and companies. In November a local delegation made of a university and two companies: the Micro System Integration Center (µSIC) at Tohoku University, Tohoku-MicroTec, and Ball Wave will attend SEMICON Europa (18-21 November 2025) in Munich, Germany.
Tohoku University located in Sendai, the capital of Miyagi, has been ranked No.1 university in Japan as a leading integrated research institution by the Times Higher Education magazine for five years. In 2024, it became the first university to receive the Japanese government’s “University for International Research Excellence” accreditation, accelerating its international activities.

The university is also leading a hub structure called Technology Co-creation for Semiconductor of Tohoku University where researchers and engineers from industry, academia and government in various fields of semiconductors co-create to realize the future vision of society.
Miyagi is also home of NanoTerasu, Japan’s first 3GeV synchrotron radiation facility established in the area in 2024.

Focusing on the semiconductor industry, Miyagi also offers a strong industrial infrastructure with 30 industrial parks (80% of which are within 10 minutes of expressways), an abundant and stable industrial water supply, as well as an international airport and trading port.
Miyagi delegation is welcoming SEMICON Europa’s visitors to its booth C1804 to discover their talent and ideal ecosystem for the semiconductor sector.
