In 2025, AI is accelerating transformation across industries—from large model training to edge intelligence—driving the storage industry beyond cyclical recovery into full-scale advancement. Storage demand in data centers, edge computing, and smart devices is shifting from capacity-centric to performance-, efficiency-, and reliability-driven. Key innovations across storage architecture, controllers, packaging, materials, and equipment are rapidly industrializing. Ecosystem collaboration is deepening, reshaping global competitiveness in the post-globalization era.

The Fourth GMIF2025 Innovation Summit (Global Memory Innovation Forum), co-hosted by the Shenzhen Memory Industry Association and the School of Integrated Circuits at Peking University and co-organized by JW Insights Consulting (Xiamen) Co., Ltd., is scheduled to be held on September 24–25, 2025, at the Renaissance Shenzhen Bay Hotel. Under the theme of "AI Applications, Innovation Empowered", representative enterprises across all segments of storage ecosystem, comprising wafer IDM manufacturers, controller and module suppliers, end-device companies, packaging service providers, and AI platform vendors, will come together to collectively explore innovation pathways and ecosystem development in the AI era.
