KEC, a company specializing in non-memory semi-conductors (CEO Hwang Chang Sup) entered into MOU on a flagship project on collaborative development of power semi-conductors at the inauguration ceremony for ‘4th Industrial Revolution Strategy Committee’ held on May 29th at Hwabaekdang, Gyeongbuk Provincial Office.
Gyeongsangbuk-do 4th Industrial Revolution Strategy Committee is responsible for establishing new vision in preparation for the 4th industrial revolution in the fields of smart manufacturing, bio health, artificial intelligence and others while playing a pivotal role in materializing the implemented projects. As the first step of such roles, business agreement ceremony was held with 15 companies that have developed innovative technologies in 5 fields including smart factory platform, development and industrialization of AI-application technology, power semi-conductor module, commercialization of carbon composite parts and commercialization of intelligent robots along with POSTECH, Korea Institute of Robot and Convergence, National Institute of Nano Technology and others.
KEC entered into MOU on the development of the power semi-conductor field by cooperating with Power Master, Inner Sensor and the National Institute of Nano Technology in power semi-conductor module field. In the 4th industrial revolution era, the demand for environmental-friendly products and processes is being expanded and following such, enhancement of energy efficiency is emerging as the key. Therefore, power semi-conductor module is a key part with increasing demand. With this MOU, KEC has become responsible for one pivot in the 4th industrial revolution by participating in the development and cooperation of power semi-conductors.
