Infineon motivation to support mKETs policy projects with semiconductor pilot production demonstrator
• Build an awareness of the benefits and challenges of
European pilot line projects in the area of power semiconductors and the associated eco system
• Providing first hand experiences for policy makers and interested third parties from research and industry
• Introducing the mKPL project and its objectives towards shaping and strengthening future EC support
• Feeding best practices back to the European community
• Deliver best practice examples from setting up large pilot line activities
• Building and managing large consortia
• Financing – National / EU funding, etc.
• R&D activities with academia and research centers
•
Managing activities with small industry partners

Essential Benefits from Pilot Production line
Projects
• It supports and eases the decision making by keeping cost and risk in certain boundaries, but does not trigger or determine it. The overall project is a part of the corporate strategy pursued in either case with or without funding.
• It allows Infineon to easier build a supporting eco-system around its internal project, which makes the undertaking feasible in the first place.
• It allows more parallel development paths to be followed leading to optimized results and to minimized risk
• It allows a higher grade of innovation to be taken by exploring alternative paths together with academic and research partners.
• It creates incentives to maintain production in Europe and have a more level playing field.
• Altogether it speeds up time to market by faster and more comprehensive innovation and learning process
• Academia and RTOs play an important role in cutting edge multi-KET
