With the growing use of artificial intelligence to tackle the major challenges of our time, the computing need is expected to double every six months from now on.

To handle the exponentially growing amounts of data in a sustainable way, we need improved high-performance semiconductor technology.

While no company in the world can accomplish this alone, co-innovation and collaboration across the semiconductor ecosystem will enable the continuation of Moore’s law.

Collaboration and internationalization have been the driving forces behind the chip industry’s gigantic strides forward.

The Chips Acts are the vehicle par excellence to take collaboration in the semiconductor realm to the next level.

Yet, according to Luc Van den hove, their promise is far greater than that: he could see the Chips Acts become the blueprint for addressing a myriad of other challenges society faces.

“Our Strength Lies in Union, Not Division”

Imec CEO Luc Van den hove looks back on a dark 2022 – but every cloud has a silver lining.

&nbsp;

2022 saw nothing less than the advent of a global ‘polycrisis’.

Yet, society has also continued to take some important steps forward. Think of our victory over the coronavirus pandemic.

Obviously, much work remains to be done to turn this silver lining into a golden future for all of us. But according to Luc Van den hove, (international) collaboration will be key.
