Because some artists deserve more than a stage - As HONNE celebrates a decade of music, Marriott Bonvoy brings members and fans close enough to hear the stories behind their journey. 

SINGAPORE, July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- There are artists you stream alone at midnight, and then there are moments when you get to sit across from them and ask why. Inspired by the brand's passion for music, on August 22, 2026, Aloft by Marriott is making the latter happen with HONNE, at Aloft by Marriott Jakarta Kebon Jeruk, celebrating a decade of their music that has quietly meant everything to a lot of people.

Aloft by Marriott, a brand built on the belief that music is best experienced up close, is the natural home for that. Through Live at Aloft Presents: A Hangout with HONNE, the brand brings Marriott Bonvoy members and fans rare access to a meet and greet with the duo as a thank you to their fans who have made the past 10 years possible.

Growth in Global Silicon Wafer Shipments Driven by AI Demand as Industrial and Automotive Markets Show Signs of Recovery

MILPITAS, Calif., July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The SEMI Silicon Manufacturers Group (SMG) reported today, in its quarterly analysis of the silicon wafer industry, that worldwide silicon wafer shipments increased 7.4% year-on-year to 3,573 million square inches (MSI) from the 3,327 MSI recorded during the same quarter of 2025. Shipments increased 9.1% quarter-over-quarter from the 3,275 MSI recorded during the first quarter of 2026.

"Silicon wafer shipments maintained steady growth in the second quarter, driven by strong and increasing AI-related demand beyond advanced logic and memory to include power devices, photonics, and other markets," said Ginji Yada, Chairman of SEMI SMG and Managing Executive Officer, General Manager, Sales and Marketing Division at SUMCO Corporation. "In addition, industrial and automotive demand is recovering, while memory price pressures are contributing to constrained PC and smartphone demand. Device manufacturers are investing heavily in capacity expansion, and silicon wafer demand growth is expected to continue."

Silicon wafers are the fundamental building material for the majority of semiconductors, which are vital components of all electronic devices. The highly engineered thin disks are produced in diameters of up to 300 mm and serve as the substrate material on which most semiconductors are fabricated.

The SMG is a sub-committee of the SEMI Electronic Materials Group (EMG) and is open to SEMI members involved in manufacturing polycrystalline silicon, monocrystalline silicon or silicon wafers (e.g., as cut, polished, epitaxial). The SMG facilitates collective efforts on issues related to the silicon industry, including the development of statistics about the silicon industry.
