Are semiconductors the „oil“ of the 21st century? Artificial intelligence and high-performance computing are the boosters of chip development The semiconductor market, driven by HPC and AI, will grow from 526 billion $ in 2023 to 1,000 billion = $1 trillion by 2030 According to a forecast from global market leader TMRC HPC will have a share of 40%, mobile 30 % and automotive 15 %.  IoT, while IoT is only expected a 10% share By outsourcing chip process development and wafer production to the Foundry business model IDMs such as Intel have  lost massively. These market shares were taken over by fabless manufacturers and system houses. New chip processes such as nanosheet transistor architecture for 2 nm nodes and CFET architecture for 1 nm structures are about to be introduced The importance of semiconductors for global economic output (GDP) is illustrated by the following data: In 2030, foundries are expected to account for a global share of GDP of 250 billion dollars, the semiconductor industry 1 trillion $ = 1,000 billion $ and the electronics industry of 3 trillion dollars. The IT industry, including AI, generates a gross value added of 11 trillion dollar. Semiconductor and packaging technologies are moving rapidly, and thus also applications for future markets.  Japan and South Korea have recognized this and are trying to keep up with immense efforts to keep up, while the USA is trying hardly to make Intel to become the technology leader again. #AI #HPC #TMRC #Foundry #IDM The complete article with more background and insights was publish in PLUS magazine in April 2024

Is Flexibility Contrary to High Throughput in Battery Cell Manufacturing? A Model-Based Approach for the Rapid Ramp-up of Innovative Production Equipment with Jürgen Fleischer from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). To reconcile the two seemingly conflicting goals of highly flexible processes and high production volumes, new concepts are needed for singulation and stacking processes. Combining the traditional discrete stacking process with a continuous cutting operation will allow rapid changes in electrode dimensions. By setting up digital twins of the machinery, it is possible to virtually commission control components and deduce machine influences on material behaviour and product quality. https://lnkd.in/eSugNvWx Save €150 with Discount Code 2428-SPK. #AABCEurope

IG Metall President Christiane Benner sets out an agenda for investment and job security in response to the German auto summit yesterday: "In view of the worsening crisis in the automotive industry, the sluggish ramp-up of electromobility, the reluctance to invest in the electromobility value chain, the time pressure in international competition for the markets of the future and the foreseeable failure to meet climate targets, IG Metall is now calling for a rapid new funding package for electromobility. Accelerating the ramp-up of e-mobility would help the climate as well as the manufacturers and suppliers who have invested billions in e-mobility. Investments must be worthwhile and fines next year for missing climate targets would be a fatal waste of money... We call on employers: Stop the hectic and action-oriented reductions in staff and locations. We need investments in the future and securing skilled workers, staying power instead of quick returns. Let us talk instead: exchange instead of excuses. But we have also made it clear that we believe it is the responsibility of politicians to do much more to support the politically set goals." https://lnkd.in/egTj_j9w industriAll Europe

German speed🚀: The Bundestag is debating the Hydrogen Acceleration Act, which is intended to speed up the approval process for electrolysers, import terminals and transport pipelines, among other things. A great deal would be gained by reducing the authorisation requirements, making the process more robust and allowing early operation. Read what our partner Dr. Michael Schramm had to say about this in the Börsen-Zeitung (translation available). #regulatory #hydrogen #sharpminds

At the Industry Day of the German Ambassador Conference at the Auswärtiges Amt (Federal Foreign Office) Germany, we discussed what is needed for a successful energy transition. While renewables have accounted for 44% of Europe's electricity in 2023, there is more to be done in order to meet our climate targets. In particular, we must: - level the playing field for the wind industry by phasing out auction mechanisms that lead to negative bidding and introducing qualitative criteria like sustainability, data security, supply chain resilience, etc., - secure access to critical materials needed for the energy transition, e.g., through trade agreements, - accelerate permitting procedures so that the capacity build-out can be achieved, - invest in the expansion of key infrastructure, such as grid access, - expand harbor infrastructure to accelerate offshore wind deployment, - also invest in gas-fired generation (with hydrogen capabilities), as this compensates for the intermittency of renewables. The energy transition requires a comprehensive approach, and we need to tackle all angles for it to be successful. We at Siemens Gamesa and Siemens Energy are committed to doing our part. Thank you to State Secretary and Special Envoy for International Climate Action at the Federal Foreign Office Jennifer Morgan, German Ambassador to the United States of America Andreas Michaelis, and Chair of the Global Renewables Alliance Julia Souder for the engaging discussions in Berlin today.

Bettina Stark-Watzinger recently stated, "And above all, our country now needs a clear prioritization of investments in infrastructure, education, and science." While this sentiment is a noble one, it’s hard to overlook the fact that during Ms. Stark-Watzinger's time in office, such priorities were not meaningfully reflected in action. The approval freeze at the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) has led to significant delays in innovation and education projects that should have been prioritized and funded. Programs like T!Raum greenCHEM, which were designed to drive technological progress and structural change have been stalled for months. As a deep tech #startup team in the T!Raum ecosystem, MANA.energy has been waiting since beginning of 2024 for promised #funding, allocated by #BMBF and Project Träger Jülich. Despite receiving the green light more than half a year ago, we’ve been unable to access the funds necessary to hire #talent, #scale, or #continue our technology development. This is particularly disheartening as our innovation is a result of years of research in bojdysLAB lead by Michael J. Bojdys in collaboration with Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Humboldt University of Berlin) and holds great potential to make a difference in the world—especially at a time when #Germany is eager to reposition itself as a leader in #sustainable technology. But the reality on the ground is starkly different. Instead of the promised support, we find ourselves trapped in bureaucratic limbo, unable to move forward. While young people are striving to make a #change, the funding delays have not only held up innovation but also left us facing personal financial hardships. In a country that should be fostering #innovation, we’re instead being crushed under the weight of systemic inefficiency. For many young people like me, Germany’s #funding landscape is becoming a major barrier to progress. Worse still, it’s forcing talented individuals to reconsider whether they should leave the country entirely, in search of a place where their work is supported and valued. This has to #change. The current state of #innovation funding in #Germany has become a joke. Waiting times for approvals are excessive, and the actual distribution of funds is far too slow. If we are to truly make a #difference in the future, we need a system that matches the urgency of the challenges we face. Time is running out, and we cannot afford to waste any more of it. #Innovation #DeepTech #Startups #Germany #Funding #Bureaucracy #SustainableTech #FutureOfWork Jonas Karsten Dr. Nadine Geiser Oliver Hasse Maria Ksenia Witte Dr. Stefan Hirschberg Martin Rahmel Stefan Kentrup Stephanie Kammerath Martin Spieß Tobias Szarowicz INAM - Innovation Network for Advanced Materials Jakob Zwiers Søren Salomo Gerrit Roessler Tatjana Königsmann Tobias Ahrens Sonja Jost Daniel-Jan Girl Henning Wehmeyer Anika B.
