Electrification and Power Semiconductors
Innovations for Sustainable Energy and Electrification
The semiconductor industry continues to innovate and provide key products for the electrification of society and industry. It is of utmost importance to meet our growing energy demand in a sustainable way and independent from traditional energy sources.
Current geopolitical dynamics, especially in key energy-producing regions, underscore the vulnerabilities inherent in a global economy heavily reliant on fossil fuels and threaten the stability of energy-dependent industries. As electrification is a critical factor in reducing global warming, the market will experience strong growth. This expansion is driven by increasing demand from electric vehicles, data centers, and solid-state transformers, as well as the growing renewable energy sector, such as solar panels. This session will provide insights into key topics and advances in the field of
power semiconductors that are enabling the transformation towards electrification. This includes, for example, content on the improvement of efficiency, cost vs performance, and manufacturing technologies.
