How to get the semiconductor industry on a path towards net-zero? I discussed this today at the OECD's 6th Meeting Semiconductor Informal Exchange Network in Milan. Details can be found here: https://lnkd.in/d8ZqSSqJ

Really interesting topic not only to focus on next developments on Semiconductor technology, but to learn from US and Brazil capabilities on production of this important economic asset.

The European Committee of the Regions (CDR), together with the Free State of Saxony, has launched the Alliance of European Semiconductor Regions (Esra), a political network of regions - for Italy there is the Piedmont, which obtained the vice-presidency – committed to strengthening Europe's capacity to produce semiconductors and microelectronics, reducing its dependence on supplies from third countries. Saxony will have the presidency. The initiative must be contextualized in the package of measures proposed on 8 February 2022 by the European Commission to strengthen the EU semiconductor ecosystem: the European Chips Act. The Commission's objective is to increase Europe's market share in global chip production from the current 10% up to 20% by 2030.

Insightful conversations about the semiconductor industry in Canada!

Looking forward to the ISES EU Power Semiconductor Executive Summit on the 14th of September. We will be presenting on the following theme: ‘Mass manufacturing 8-inch GaN-on-Si power devices: the next generation of power switching technology’. Power semiconductor systems are undergoing a groundbreaking transformation with the advent of GaN power devices. These devices have paved the way for smaller, more efficient, and cheaper power conversion systems (AC/DC, DC/DC etc..). We have already shipped an impressive 170 million devices that are utilised in numerous applications worldwide. Yet, there are still several misconceptions about GaN power devices. In this presentation, we will dismantle common myths by showing the performance and reliability of Innoscience’s GaN power device technology. We will also show that by leveraging the economies of scale delivered by the our two large 8-inch high-throughput manufacturing fabs totally dedicated to the production of 8-inch GaN-on-Si wafers it is now possible to provide price-competitive GaN power devices. Join us for the presentation, where we'll demonstrate how to take advantage of discrete (InnoGaN™) and integrated (SolidGaN™) GaN Innoscience’s GaN power devices to enhance the performance of power converters.

If you want to learn more about Semiconductor Value Chain in Czech republic, I recommend to follow Czech National Semiconductor Cluster member of Silicon Europe. CNCS can serve as proxy towards quickly growing semiconductor ecosystem in #Czechia at the heart of #EU including top Czech universities & academic institutes, leading semiconductor companies and their supply chain, startups, design centers, regional innovation centers...

In an era defined by cutting-edge technology, Canada must set its sights on becoming a prominent player in the global semiconductor industry. Gordon Harling, President and CEO of CMC Microsystems, shares his insights on how Canada can achieve this in a new op-ed: https://bit.ly/3ERru4E

The evolving semiconductor landscape in the EU and the US presents a transformative opportunity. With the EU targeting a substantial increase in its global semiconductor industry share and the recent passing of the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act, both regions are shaping their strategies. The EU Chips Act underscores collaborative efforts, while the U.S. legislation aims to supercharge American semiconductor capabilities. Join the discussion on the evolving dynamics in the EU and US semiconductor initiatives, propelling innovation on a global scale. #SemiconductorEvolution #EUGlobalInitiative #USChipsAct 🌐💻💡
