On Monday our CEO Stew Edmondson attended a Labour Party Conference Fringe Event with Chi Onwurah and Samantha Niblett MP, hosted by TechWorks and Palace Yard, which focused on how we can secure the UK Semiconductor Industry. A key message from all of the industry participants was about the vital importance of access to talent to support their growth plans. We advocate that the only sustainable solution to the overall skills shortage is to invest in the skills pipeline right from primary school. Tackling the shortage means a national-level, long-term programme to incentivise more young people to pursue the study of Electronics and semiconductors. Another point made in the discussion was about gender imbalance in our sector. Through our successful “Girls into Electronics” programme, we are starting to see increased interest and engagement. Overall, through our programmes, more than 100 employers are demonstrating their commitment to supporting young people to develop the skills that the industry needs. With continued support from industry and government leadership, we can work together to tackle the skills challenge. 

Kicked off a great internal initiative with brilliant inventors like Jan Speich to drive innovation at Deutsche Telekom! 💡 We’re focused on creating strategic patents that keep us ahead of the competition in this fast-evolving industry. The energy was electric as we started to explore groundbreaking ideas. Thanks for the invite Tim Oelmann What’s the most innovative trend to look into?

FuzeHub and Upstate Makes are attending the 2024 Semicon West conference in San Francisco to help spread the good word about all the cutting-edge innovation happening all across the Empire State. The name of the game is collaboration, with so many different tech companies, economic development organizations, research and testing operations, and all who participate in making the global electronics supply chain stronger all on display and engaging in robust conversations. Our state has a story to tell, and thanks to the hard work of the New York State Economic Development Council (NYSEDC) and Empire State Development, New York is (once again) in a prominent location at the premier show for the semiconductor industry. #AdvancedMaterials #AdvancedManufacturing #SupplyChain

The future is always evolving – and so are we 🙌 Our research and development (R&D) team around the world is helping to solve the technical, economic, and social challenges facing the world today. 🥳 So, it just makes sense to invest in the future by expanding our R&D department. And that is exactly what we will be doing in Ireland over the next four years at our sites in Cork and Dublin. To mark the occasion, the Deputy Prime Minister of Ireland, Micheál Martin, paid us a visit this week and shared his thoughts on the expansion: "This announcement underscores Ireland's reputation as a global hub for innovation and technology and will have a positive impact on the communities of Dublin and Cork". Martin O'Keeffe, Managing Director of Infineon Technologies Semiconductor Ireland emphasizes the advantages of Ireland: "Ireland's vibrant engineering ecosystem enables us to be a center of excellence for innovation and R&D for the company". 🌎 The Infineon research teams in Ireland are focused on IP development for the automotive and consumer markets. With the expansion, we will support the development of new technologies and products that will help drive #digitalization and #decarbonization on a global scale. #Infineon #reseachanddevelopment #innovation

Great information being shared at a summit with the National Semiconductor Technology Center, including on coordinated workforce development strategies. There are so many smart, dedicated public servants working in the federal government - in partnership with industry, states, education - to keep our nation at the forefront of this vital technology that impacts every aspect of our lives. Healthcare, national defense, manufacturing, energy sustainability, transportation, communications, digital everything… Natcast.org NSTXL (National Security Technology Accelerator) Ohio TechNet

It's interesting to see the US government promoting domestic chip development while discriminating against certain local entities like Applied Materials. This dual approach raises questions about the actual aim of these initiatives. #SemiconductorIndustry #CHIPSAct #USPolicy

Today, we’re proud to celebrate two years since the groundbreaking CHIPS and Science Act was enacted into law. The act provided $52 billion in funding and incentives to strengthen U.S. semiconductor manufacturing and R&D. It also resulted in the creation of Natcast, the operator of the National Semiconductor Technology Center (“NSTC”). This pivotal legislation represents a once-in-a generation opportunity for the U.S. to drive the pace of innovation, set standards, and strengthen our global leadership in semiconductor design and manufacturing, which is critical to our country’s national security and economic prosperity. As we commemorate the incredible progress the CHIPS Act has enabled over the past two years, we remain committed to advancing disruptive technological breakthroughs and building a sustainable semiconductor workforce development ecosystem through collaboration and a shared commitment to American-led innovation.

⭐ALLPROS.eu at the Research to Reality EVENT: Innovative Approaches for the skills gap 🌐ALLPROS.eu was a featured participant at the Research to Reality event hosted by the European Commission on February 5, 2024. The event, focusing on Digital Solutions to European challenges, included a panel entitled 'From the lab to the fab - the chips for Europe initiative as a bridge between research and industry.' 💡The panel highlighted the importance of bridging the gap between academia and industry, especially in the semiconductor sector, to address the pressing skills gap. Lucilla Sioli - Director for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Industry at the European Commission, emphasized the geopolitical tensions arising from the global chip shortage and stressed the need for Europe to invest in research and young talents. Silvana Muscella, founder and CEO at Trust-IT Services Italy, the technical coordinator of ALLPROS.eu, brought to Brussels the project’s approach to the skills gap. From the numbers of the semiconductor sector, to the importance of the presence of young talents, Silvana analysed the current landscape on skills and proposed announced an upcoming 📘 blueprint for competence centres with a strong emphasis on the Triple Helix approach.
