It is known that the matricial solution set of a linear matrix inequality (LMI) is a convex free basic open semi-algebraic set. The main theorem of this paper is a converse, namely that each such set arises from some LMI. The result has implications for semi-definite programming and systems engineering as well as for free semi-algebraic geometry.
