In the rapidly evolving world of energy-efficient technologies, power semiconductors have emerged as a critical force driving the future of electronics, revolutionizing electric mobility, optimizing industrial applications, and enhancing energy efficiency across sectors.

As the industry accelerates its transition to electrification, businesses are under increasing pressure to align their strategies with cutting-edge advancements, particularly in wide bandgap (WBG) technologies like silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN).

The leap from 5G to 6G represents a fundamental shift in how data is transmitted, processed, and utilized. Advanced semiconductors will be at the heart of this transformation, driving capabilities such as ultra-fast data transfer, near-zero latency, and AI-powered edge computing.

However, to realize the potential of 6G, the semiconductor industry must overcome significant challenges, including the development of new materials, cutting-edge process nodes, and innovative packaging technologies.

This will require collaborations across the semiconductor industry to ensure that 6G networks can meet the demanding performance requirements of tomorrow’s applications, from autonomous vehicles to immersive extended reality (XR) experiences. 

The machinery industry is evolving at a remarkable pace, not only unveiling rapid growth for its ecosystem players but also enhancing efficiency, precision, and resilience. Today’s business landscape is more susceptible to supply chain disruptions than ever before, leading all value chain participants — from OEMs to IoT vendors — to focus on mitigating disruptions and consolidating supply networks.  

Product lifecycle management (PLM) software is emerging as a critical catalyst for industrial transformation. Amidst escalating supply chain complexities and the unrelenting pressure to accelerate production while reducing costs, PLM solutions are becoming essential.

The adoption of subscription-based PLM platforms is accelerating this transformation, as it offers increased flexibility, scalability, and reduced IT overhead. This shift has ignited a new era of competition, with cloud-native disruptors challenging established industry leaders.
