Recently, we said Farewell to Gordon Moore, who shaped the semiconductor industry like no other. His observation that the number of transistors doubles about every two years, known as Moore’s Law, made him a legend in the industry, because even today, almost 60 years later, it still holds true.

This year Earth Day's theme is “Invest in the Environment”. The semiconductor industry has implemented programs that drive sustainability and reduce the impact on the environment for over a decade.

The procurement of components has been very rocky in the past two years. These recent experiences will have a lasting impact on the purchasing behavior in the industry.

The semiconductor industry is on its biggest roller coaster ride. And in the worst chip crisis, we have also seen some of the greatest innovations of recent years. But while we focus on output and sales, the big risk for the industry is the availability of talent to keep the innovations going.
