Last week, we celebrated the completion of Polar's 2026 summer intern program and the outstanding students who contributed so much to our team this season! 🙌

Throughout the summer, our interns brought curiosity, energy, and fresh perspective to teams across Polar. They gained hands-on experience in a high-tech semiconductor manufacturing environment while supporting meaningful work in engineering, automation, technology development, quality, facilities, finance, IT, safety, business development, and more.

We’re proud of the growth they showed, the questions they asked, and the impact they made during their time with us.

A special thank you to our interns for all of your hard work this summer, and to the Polar team members who helped mentor, guide, and support them along the way. 👏

We were grateful to celebrate together with a great meal catered by Apple Spice - Minneapolis - St. Paul .

Congratulations to our 2026 summer intern class! 🎓

🎤 Polar's President & COO, Surya Iyer, recently participated in a panel at the SEMI Fab Owners Alliance meeting in Linthicum, Maryland.

The discussion brought together industry leaders to explore several timely topics shaping the future of semiconductor manufacturing, including:

🔹 What’s driving semiconductor growth and extending the life of legacy fabs
🔹 How AI is being used across fabs today, and where future opportunities may emerge
🔹 AI adoption in semiconductor environments, including Fab IT considerations
🔹 Workforce and labor challenges across the industry

As the semiconductor ecosystem continues to evolve, conversations like these are essential to advancing collaboration, strengthening domestic manufacturing, and preparing fabs for the next generation of technology and talent.

Thank you to Northrop Grumman Corporation for hosting and to SEMI for bringing this important group together. We were honored to be part of the conversation. 👏
