European Microwave Week (EuMW) 2025, held from 21 to 26 September in Utrecht, brought together the international radio frequency community for a week of collaboration and discovery. Representing the National Semiconductor Translation and Innovation Centre for Gallium Nitride (NSTIC GaN), the team participated in the exhibition from 23 to 25 September at Booth E132. Throughout the event, NSTIC (GaN) exchanged insights, explored new partnerships, and showcased how Gallium Nitride innovation continues to enhance efficiency, performance, and sustainability for next-generation communication technologies.

A Global Platform for RF Innovation

EuMW is one of the most influential gatherings for professionals in the fields of microwave, millimetre-wave, and radar technology. The 2025 edition welcomed researchers, engineers, and companies from around the world, all contributing to the ongoing evolution of radio frequency and wireless communications.

NSTIC (GaN)’s participation reinforced its role in advancing research translation and supporting Singapore’s presence within the global RF innovation landscape. As communication systems evolve toward higher frequencies and greater energy efficiency, Gallium Nitride continues to be a cornerstone of enabling progress.

Connecting with the Global RF Community

From 23 to 25 September, the NSTIC (GaN) team engaged with a wide network of industry professionals, researchers, and technology leaders at Booth E132. The exhibition provided an ideal platform to:

• Showcase GaN Research: Demonstrating the material’s advantages in efficiency, power density, and performance across RF and high-frequency applications.

• Exchange Knowledge: Engaging in technical discussions about emerging trends in power amplifiers, system integration, and thermal management.

• Explore Collaboration: Strengthening links with global partners and identifying opportunities for co-development and innovation.

The interactions throughout the week highlighted the shared goal of building smarter, faster, and more energy-conscious communication systems.

GaN’s Role in Future Communications

Gallium Nitride (GaN) continues to play a transformative role in the evolution of advanced communication technologies. Its superior material properties allow for high-efficiency power conversion and improved performance in radio frequency devices, contributing to more compact and sustainable designs.

During EuMW 2025, NSTIC (GaN) shared how its ongoing research and collaborations are helping translate GaN innovation into practical applications for industries such as telecommunications, defence, and industrial electronics. These initiatives align with Singapore’s national goals of advancing deep-tech innovation and supporting the global shift toward cleaner, more efficient technologies.

Collaboration and Knowledge Exchange

Beyond the exhibition, European Microwave Week also featured technical conferences, workshops, and panel discussions. NSTIC (GaN) representatives attended key sessions focused on wide bandgap materials, system design challenges, and the integration of RF systems into sustainable technology frameworks.

The event underscored the importance of international collaboration in semiconductor research and manufacturing, where shared knowledge and collective effort accelerate innovation across the entire value chain.

Final Thoughts

NSTIC (GaN) extends its appreciation to the organisers of EuMW 2025 for creating an environment that fosters innovation and collaboration across the global radio frequency community. The team also thanks all the visitors and partners who engaged at Booth E132 for their insights and valuable exchanges.

As the world continues to push the boundaries of connectivity and performance, NSTIC (GaN) remains committed to advancing Gallium Nitride technologies that power the next generation of efficient, intelligent, and sustainable systems.
