A Remarkable Evening with Industry Visionary Jensen Huang

The International Semiconductor Industry Group (I.S.I.G.) is proud to celebrate 15 years of innovation, collaboration, and leadership within the semiconductor industry. As part of this milestone, our CEO, Salah Nasri, recently had the privilege of hosting an exclusive dinner discussion with Jensen Huang, the iconic founder and CEO of NVIDIA, in the Bay Area.  

This moment was particularly meaningful, as Jensen Huang was one of the first leaders Salah Nasri consulted in 2010 when envisioning the creation of the International Semiconductor Executive Summits (I.S.E.S.). During their conversation, Jensen shared timeless advice that remains relevant today:  
“Criticism is fuel. The sharper it cuts, the brighter it can ignite your determination. Take every critique as motivation to prove what’s possible.”

Reflecting on the extraordinary journey of NVIDIA under Jensen’s leadership, Salah Nasri highlighted the profound impact Jensen has made, not only on NVIDIA’s global success but also on the broader semiconductor and AI ecosystems. Jensen’s unwavering vision and relentless drive continue to set the standard for excellence across industries.  

As we commemorate 15 years of I.S.I.G., we are humbled and honored by the support of our Members and Partners, whose collaboration has been the cornerstone of our success. Together, we are shaping the future of the semiconductor industry.  

Upcoming USA Events:  All hosted in Silicon Valley at Plug and Play Tech Center (co-organiser), featuring an exclusive Gala Dinner at Levi’s Stadium.

  • I.S.E.S. USA 2025: April 8-9
  • I.S.E.S. USA Power 2025: April 14-15

These summits will convene global leaders to explore innovation, address challenges, and create unparalleled opportunities for growth and impact.  

The I.S.I.G. remains committed to empowering the semiconductor ecosystem through collaboration, insight, and strategic foresight. As Salah emphasised, “It is through visionary leaders like Jensen Huang and the collective strength of our community that we will continue to drive transformation and success in the years to come. There are several Jensen’s in the making in our community. Nothing is impossible in the world of semiconductor manufacturing”.
