In this episode, Françoise von Trapp hands over the mike to imec’s Katrien Marent, who hosted imec’s ITF Towards NetZero at SEMICON Europa. She introduces a panel discussion on Collaborative Strategies and Practical Solutions Toward a More Sustainable Semiconductors Future. 

 The panel kicks off by polling the audience on what they think are the most pressing issues facing the semiconductor industry as it endeavors to reduce its carbon footprint while simultaneously growing to meet the demands of semiconductor devices, many of which will help other industries on their paths to sustainability. 

The panel tackles some grave and difficult questions and offers some useful advice on how to collaborate as an industry and the importance of individual efforts made by companies. What is the role of innovation in achieving these goals? Do we need to have standardization around data? Do we need to report more transparency? 

 In some places, you’ll hear instances of the audience polling and the results of those informing the questions asked by panel moderator, Jan-Hinnerk Mohr, Managing Director & Partner, Boston Consulting Group.  

Panelists   

• Emily Gallagher, Principal Member of Technical Staff, imec
• Jean-Marc Girard, CTO and SVP of Manufacturing Technologies, Air Liquide Advanced Materials
• Benjamin Sokolowski, Managing Director & VP Government Affairs EMEA, Qualcomm
• Bill Lussier, Senior Vice President Regional Sales & Deputy GM, Tokyo Electron Europe Ltd.
