Cheltenham, UK, 23 May 2007: Juno Publishing and Media Solutions Ltd ("Juno"), the publisher of Semiconductor Today magazine, is pleased to announce the establishment of a collaborative agreement with Yole Développement ("Yole") of Lyon, France, under the terms of which Juno will act as a sales agent for Yole's compound semiconductor and advanced silicon market research reports. Juno will sell the reports via its Semiconductor Today website, where customers will also find details of special offers and Yole's consultation service.

In addition to the sales agreement, Semiconductor Today and Yole will exchange editorial material, which will then be made freely available through the companies' websites and electronic newsletters.

“Yole Développement is renowned as a leading supplier of high-quality market research covering compound semiconductors and advanced silicon materials and devices, and as such its focus fits perfectly with that of Semiconductor Today’s,” says Darren Cummings, Joint Managing Director of Juno Publishing and Media Solutions Ltd. “We are very pleased to be working with Yole’s experienced team of analysts, and look forward to offering their research to Semiconductor Today's audience,” he adds. “This agreement is a clear demonstration of Semiconductor Today's commitment to continually enhancing the products and services that it offers to the market, and marks the first of several key developments planned for 2007.”

“Semiconductor Today’s content is totally in line with the scope of the theme that Philippe Roussel has been managing at Yole Développement for almost 10 years, and thanks to our Japanese agent, our compound semiconductor reports have become reference material,” says Yole’s founder Jean Christophe Eloy. “We are glad that Juno will help us to achieve the same status in the English-speaking world,” he adds. “We appreciate this evolution of Juno to become a media and a business platform, and we look forward to benefiting from additional sales through Juno. With this first move we mark Yole’s commitment to the compound semiconductor and advanced silicon markets.”

To fulfil the agreement, Semiconductor Today will launch a Bookstore service on its website, where visitors can find details of the market research offered and place orders. A launch date for the service will be announced shortly.
