OktoberTech Silicon Valley 2025 underscored that Infineon no longer sees itself as a niche component supplier watching the AI wave from the sidelines.
The company used the event, held at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, Calif., to frame a sharper, more assertive narrative: Infineon aims to be the foundational infrastructure provider for physical AI, edge intelligence, high-density AI data centers, and, increasingly, next-generation quantum systems.
The question for customers, partners, and investors is whether the company substantiated that ambition with enough technology, ecosystem proof, and strategic clarity to be credible. The evidence presented at the event points to yes.
Trust Platform for Advanced Systems
Infineon was careful to position OktoberTech Silicon Valley not as a product smorgasbord, but as what CMO and Management Board Member Andreas Urschitz described as a “trustful platform” that brings together innovators “who want to be part of the solution of tomorrow.”
That choice of framing matters because the environment is capital-intensive, with AI buildouts, robotics deployment, and electrification, and customers are looking for long-term partners with proven execution.
Infineon backed up its trust story with concrete proof points, most notably its fifth Bosch Global Supplier Award. The honor affirmed Infineon’s status as a top-tier supplier of next-generation automotive architectures. It showcased its strengths across microcontrollers, sensors, connectivity, and power, further reinforced by significant manufacturing investments such as 300 mm GaN wafer processing.
The company’s new long-term green power purchase agreements with PNE AG and Statkraft in Germany and Spain signaled that Infineon is aligning its operations with the decarbonization narrative it sells, committing to 100% green electricity and enabling additional renewable energy buildout.
Taken together, these moves framed OktoberTech Silicon Valley as more than a showcase. They underlined Infineon’s claim to be a strategically resilient, sustainability-aligned infrastructure partner for the AI era.
Infineon’s Role in Humanoid Systems
The robotics and physical AI content at OktoberTech Silicon Valley was central to that claim. Infineon’s leadership made a disciplined choice: rather than chase headlines about full-robot platforms, they mapped out how a humanoid or advanced autonomous system could be architected on Infineon technology.
In keynote and panel discussions, executives detailed how efficient drives using GaN and SiC can shrink joint sizes and extend runtime, how battery management and safety MCUs underpin reliability, how radar, environmental, and 3D sensing enable perception, and how secure connectivity and embedded security harden systems operating alongside people.
Infineon’s Division President of Power and Sensor Systems, Adam White, emphasized that customers increasingly expect not individual parts, but platform-level reference designs that reduce integration risk in complex robots and humanoids.
