Third-Generation Semiconductor: The Next Wave?Vertex Holdings
Today, almost every technological device houses a microprocessor or transistor - from compact devices such as calculators to mobile phones, and even microwaves. In a world where we are powered up, plugged in and connected digitally, the demand for technologies powered by semiconductors have risen.
With the growing demand, will the semiconductor industry rise to prominence once again?
E-mobility E-mobility | Part 5 - The future of EVs and AVs (English)Vertex Holdings
The future of mobility lies in creating a mobile lifestyle that integrates infotainment services and vehicle autonomy.
With rising demands for connectivity features, consumers and manufacturers are welcoming the idea of building software-defined vehicles (aka smart cars), making infotainment and connectivity a possibility. In a similar vein, LiDAR (light detection and ranging systems) is emerging as a new technology for Autonomous Vehicles (AVs). Today, automakers are partnering with LiDAR startups to improve navigation and safety with notable collaborations established such as Volvo and Luminar, Arcfox and Hua Wei, as well as Nio and Innovusion.
Autonomous technology integrates better with electric engines and as the trillion-dollar market continues developing globally, vehicles of the future are expected to be are expected to be autonomous, connected, electrified, and shared.

E-mobility | Part 2 - Battery Technology & Alternative Innovations (German)Vertex Holdings
Today, 60% of electric vehicles (EVs) are powered by lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its efficiency, high power-to-weight ratio and flexibility to allow chemical alterations. As the EV industry gains steam, supply chain and design challenges are spurring battery manufacturers to explore alternatives.
Some of the alternative battery technologies include lithium-iron phosphate (LFP), lithium-sulfur battery (LSB) and sodium-ion battery (SIB). Besides LFP, LSB and SIB, solid-state batteries (SSBs) are touted as a forerunner for the next-generation battery technology.
Despite these advancements, the current speed of innovation is not accelerating fast enough to meet the demands of the rapidly growing EV sector. This presents opportunities in areas such as battery design and securing the supply chain locally via vertical integration.
As the world welcomes green mobility, commercializing battery technology will be imperative to drive global EV adoption. Given the increased push for battery development and innovation, we believe that it’s only a matter of time before supply catches up with demand.
