Dear Readers, as the year draws to a close, we are proud to present our Annual Report. Find out how we are using microelectronic solutions to combat climate change not only in 2021 and 2022, but also beyond. We have put together five fascinating projects for you. Of course, we are continuing many of these projects and already have new, sustainable projects on our agenda. One of these is the Fraunhofer-funded PowerCare project. Read our press release and find out how we can save megatons of greenhouse gases every year through intelligent power electronics and innovative gallium nitride semiconductors in motor controllers. You can also find out more about our core business in our video on »Technology Services« and be inspired to work with us. Also, don't miss our annual review with the event highlights of 2023, where you can already save the date and experience our solutions again. In the end, it's up to you again: we want to constantly improve and look forward to your feedback. Let us know how we can further optimize our content in 2024 and take part in our community survey. Have fun reading and enjoy your holidays! |

Research and development | Reading time: 20 min Our Annual Report - find out all about the sustainable, smart sensor solutions from 2021 and 2022! 
In 2021 and 2022, we used our expertise in microelectronics in various innovative projects to develop sustainable solutions and thus contribute to a respectful approach to our world: » AIRISC: high-performance and energy-efficient RISC-V processors » GaNext: semiconductors made of gallium nitride instead of silicon can minimize the environmental impact of power electronics » NeurOSmart lighthouse project: five Fraunhofer institutes are working together on intelligent, climate-friendly robot sensors » Green ICT: Environmentally friendly information and communication technology (ICT) starts with microelectronics. The »Green ICT @ FMD« competence center aims to research and bundle cross-technology overall solutions » RIWWER: Flood and environmental protection in Duisburg, with digitalized and AI-supported wastewater systems
