GaN Systems Inc of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada – a fabless developer of gallium nitride (GaN)-based power switching semiconductors for power conversion and control – and Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) have entered into a Letter of Intent to collaborate on expanding the economic and technical benefits of GaN technology to Taiwan’s electronics manufacturers. The aim is to meet the global challenges of unsustainable increases in power consumption, combating climate change, implementing cleantech technologies, and meeting green CO2-reduction initiatives.
To further advance Taiwan’s role in the electronics industry, recognizing the importance and benefits of GaN, the MOEA will provide assistance to GaN Systems to extend its in-country business and representation. This agreement brings together the GaN transistor manufacturer with the government body that oversees Taiwan’s electronics industry. Working together, the alliance will collaborate to help solve global power challenges.
“As Taiwan plays a preeminent role in the Asian electronics industry, we are pleased to provide GaN Systems with the resources to continue their success with our leading manufacturers,” says Mei-Hua Wang, Vice Minister of Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA). “This Letter of Intent strengthens the bonds between GaN Systems and Taiwan’s electronics industry,” she adds.
“We see this as an important demonstration of how companies and government work together to reinforce partnerships amongst industry leaders and across industry segments,” comments GaN Systems’ CEO Jim Witham.
