Moore4Power (More than Moore for Disruptive Innovations in Power Electronics), one of Europe’s most ambitious semiconductor R&D projects, was launched yesterday. Led by Infineon Technologies AG, a global leader in power semiconductors, this Chips Joint Undertaking initiative unites large entities, small and medium-sized enterprises and research institutes from 15 European countries to develop the next generation of smart, efficient and sustainable power electronics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a total project volume of 91 million euros, Moore4Power will run for three years aiming to deliver breakthrough innovations that strengthen Europe’s technological sovereignty and sustainability in the field of power electronics.
For decades, progress in electronics followed Moore\u2019s Law: smaller transistors, delivering higher performance at lower cost. Today, traditional scaling is reaching physical and economic limits. Moore4Power addresses this challenge by shifting the focus from individual components to system-level innovation. Combining technologies, materials, and functions in smarter, application-driven ways, the initiative unlocks major gains in efficiency, reliability and power density.
\u201cPower electronics are a decisive enabler for energy efficiency and sustainability. With Moore4Power, we are setting the next level of smart integration to achieve significantly higher energy and resource efficiency,\u201d says Jochen Koszescha, Coordination Lead for the Moore4Power project at Infineon Technologies AG. \u201cWe are proud to join forces with an outstanding consortium from academia, research and industry to make a decisive contribution to Europe\u2019s Clean Industrial Deal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moore4Power focuses on high\u2011impact sectors where power conversion drives cost, CO\u2082 reduction and reliability. In wind energy, advanced power electronics can operate at the core of turbines to improve energy conversion and increase harvested power; in e\u2011mobility, advanced power electronics will enable up to 99\u202fpercent efficiency with near\u2011loss\u2011free, bidirectional charging; and in railway systems, they will cut propulsion losses by at least 30\u202fpercent, significantly boosting energy efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The European project Moore4Power (More than Moore for Disruptive Innovations in Power Electronics) will run for a total of three years. The project is co\u2011funded by grants from the participating countries and the Horizon Europe \u2013 Chips Joint Undertaking (Innovation Action) program. The consortium in detail:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
