Energy efficiency: The 21st century “energy source”

Reducing the use of energy is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. Semiconductors make a key contribution to the reduction of power losses in the generation, transmission and use of electricity. At the same time, increasing power density and growing efficiency open the doors to ever new applications - whether in automotive engineering, production machinery or all sorts of electric and electronic devices. Semiconductors are fueling a new technical, efficiency-driven revolution. We are witnessing the evolution of the Internet of Things, the smart networking and interaction of systems. It is a challenge but also a huge opportunity for the semiconductor industry to promote the advancement of the Internet of Things by adding expertise to the fields of energy efficiency and security.
