📣📣📣Excited to announce that FluoRok is a finalist in this year's Startups for Sustainable Semiconductors!📣📣📣   Our founder & CEO, Gabriele Pupo will be pitching at the Sustainable Semiconductors session at SEMICON West 2024 in San Francisco on 10th July. If you are in the Bay Area, please come and see us!   Currently, the first step to access any fluorochemical such as Li-ion battery electrolytes salts or fluorinated agrochemicals/pharmaceuticals, involves the conversion of high purity mined CaF2 (calcium fluoride, fluorite mineral) into HF (hydrogen fluoride), a highly hazardous, difficult-to-handle and toxic gas. FluoRok reinvents this centuries-old process, bypassing completely this dangerous intermediate to access fluorochemicals. Its innovative solutions lower CO2 emissions, reduce costs and enhance manufacturing safety.    FluoRok leverages a large set of raw materials, including high and low purity mined fluorite, as well as fluorinated waste derived from the fluorochemical and semiconductor industry. By employing waste streams, FluoRok enables for the first time the circular economy in fluorochemical production. FluoRok enables greener chemical manufacturing and radically improves sustainability in the semiconductor industry by transforming challenging waste streams into high value materials.♻️ #SEMICONWest

Interviewing startups, especially from the semicon industry, is always interesting because they bring in a sort of energy that large companies increasingly cannot. Here's my latest story for DIGITIMES Asia, in conversation with Hareesh Chandrasekar of AGNIT Semiconductors Pvt Ltd. Indian Institute of Science (IISc). MeitY Startup Hub.

“Europe should pump ‘five times’ the money it is investing in semiconductors to be able to compete with the US and China…’There’s a lack of ambition on what’s going to be the most important technology of our lifetime.’” - ☕️✨ Rodolfo Rosini A lack of ambition, but also a lack of coherency. There are multiple, often conflicting national semiconductor initiatives in Europe, and then an EU strategy that is really a non strategy - with the completely made up and unrealistic target of having 20% of global chip production in Europe. https://lnkd.in/eu-QiXjQ #tech #technology #innovation #deeptech #semiconductors #ai #artificialintelligence #startups #entrepreneurs #entrepreneurship #vc #venturecapital #future #money #business

🚀 The countdown for Infineon Technologies #Startup Day in #Dresden on June 18 is on. To shorten the wait, we are already introducing you to a few of the startups that will be presenting their ideas on our stage. Today we asked DIVE imaging systems GmbH a few questions to get to know them better: 💡What is the problem you are solving? Coating steps are essential in semiconductor production, several dozen are necessary and nearly all of them working without adequate control. Time- and cost-consuming control wafers must be processed, analyzed and recycled separately.   🔍 What is your solution? DIVE overcomes these bottlenecks by the fast, optical/contactless and comprehensive Hyperspectral Vision Technology, working directly on production wafers. DIVE's technology is the next step to achieving the goal of zero-defect manufacturing.   🤖 How is your solution revolutionizing semiconductor manufacturing? DIVE’s technology provides a direct cost reduction through reducing the number of control wafers, a revenue increase through the increased productivity of production tools and enables a more environmentally friendly production by reducing the relevant process chemicals and waste. Click https://dive.eu/ to learn more about DIVE or meet them live at the Startup Day in Dresden on June 18th. If you want to participate in the event please send us a mail to [email protected] Julian Haslberger Dr. Nico Herzberg Marcus Dankelmann Claudia Lenk

The good news just keeps on coming! Congratulations to deep-tech venture Astrape Networks on securing €1.6 million in pre-seed funding! Astrape announced it secured pre-seed funding from a consortium of investors and loan providers, including Brabantse Ontwikkelings Maatschappij (BOM), Rabobank, Brabant Startup Fonds, TTT Smart Industries, SHIFT Invest and PhotonDelta. With the capital, Astrape can begin developing the technology needed to drive the data centers and optical networks of the future, specifically the use of Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), to build faster, cooler and more energy efficient data centers.   Data centers have a hard time keeping pace with ever-increasing consumer demand for data – more than 5 billion Internet users in 2023. Existing data networks convert electronic signals into optical signals and back again, multiple times. Switching between electrical and optical signals consumes large amounts of energy. Astrape’s goal is to eliminate multiple electrical-optical conversions by only converting to optical at the network edge. At current network speeds, that would generate an estimated energy savings of 20%. Based on anticipated future speeds, that could rise to as much as 60%. “This investment is an important endorsement for the photonics venture building program set up by HighTechXL and PhotonDelta,” said Laurens Weers, Chief Financial Officer at PhotonDelta. “The joint program enables startups working with integrated photonics – such as Astrape Networks – to get off the ground, create new use-cases for the technology and strengthen the Netherlands’ position as a world leader in integrated photonics.” Way to go, Team Astrape! 👏 Read the full press release here 👉 https://lnkd.in/e9QJZiE6 #datacenters #integratedphotonics #opticalnetworking #deeptech Provincie Noord-Brabant Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) John Francesco Willem Jan Nicola Robin High Tech Campus Eindhoven The Gate Eindhoven University of Technology Techleapnl
