Why TMT?
The technology sector is in an exciting position right now, with semiconductors now seeing convergence in support of a range of emerging technologies. “The industry is at an inflection point,” say Jan. “Historically, it’s been driven by the products that the chips go into. But now chips are powering the Internet of Things, which enables big data, which enables analytics, and so on. Cloud computing. 5G mobile communications. Driverless cars. Blockchain.” The list of potential applications is growing everyday—and, as such, businesses need to understand where chips can support their technology needs. “The [semiconductor] industry is poised to more than double over the next eight years, which means there’s strong demand for professional services to help clients achieve their goals.”
