新創半導體永續發展計畫

新創半導體永續發展計畫

計畫內容涵蓋專業產業導師制度以及pitch活動，提供創新團隊由各大半導體企業創投籌畫之一系列足以影響半導體產業在廢棄物排放、能源使用、水和廢棄物再循環的永續科技。

半導體生產 - 此刻 - 正在經歷永續轉型，而且不能再拖下去了

• 綠色和平推估一間半導體公司一年可使用高達>4.8%的台灣電力，超越台灣首都 - 臺北市的用電量加侖
• 某半導體記憶體龍頭每年使用了500億(美)加侖的水，等於科羅拉多河整整三天的流量
• 在2019年，某大晶片廠商的半導體製程花費了比福特公司三倍的水且產出了多兩倍的有毒廢棄物

誰應該來報名？

任何有可以增進半導體永續發展的獨特想法之新創、產學業者以及創新者，即便您尚未將你的想法實施在半導體產業中！
改革永續半導體生產是一個極具挑戰的項目，你我都應該參與，成為改變歷史的一份子。

Episode 1:  What is the Startups for Semiconductor Sustainable Program - In this podcast Francoise von Trapp of 3D InCites, James Amano, Senior Director of EHS and Sustainability at SEMI, sheds light on the program, joined by 2022 SemiFinalists, Jon Herlocker, President and CEO at Tignis, Maher Damak, CEO and Co-Founder at Infinite Cooling, and Lester D'Cruz, Senior Director Product Management at ATONARP.

Episode 2:  Waste Water, Gas Purification, and Circularity - James Amano, Senior Director of EHS and Sustainability at SEMI, joined three alumni from last year’s program for a podcast conversation with Francoise von Trapp of 3D InCites. Greg Newbloom, CEO and Co-Founder at Membrion; Ben Hernandez, Founder and CEO at NuMat Technologies; and Daniel Alvarez, Founder and CEO at Purity ReSource each discussed how their company’s solutions are helping the semiconductor industry achieve its sustainability goals and the boost in visibility they received from the program.

Episode 3:  The Role of the Venture Capital Companies - Hear about the journey ahead for the semifinalists of the 2023 program. Read about it here.  Hear from two of the VCs who make this program tick. They explain how they came up with the concept for a start-up pitch event, and how they collaborated with SEMI and VCs across the supply chain to make it happen, and the process and benefits of participating in the program.
