Pakal Technologies partners with Prohubs to commercialise power semiconductor products
Technology developer Pakal Technologies partnered with Prohubs to accelerate commercial distribution of high efficiency power semiconductors across industrial and energy infrastructure markets
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25, 2026 - Pakal Technologies, a developer of a next-generation high-efficiency silicon power semiconductor known as IGTO, has formed a strategic partnership with Prohubs. This collaboration brings together Pakal's breakthrough technology with Prohubs' market development and commercialization expertise, as well as its extensive experience in the Taiwan market.
The IGTO technology promises greater efficiency and reliability compared to existing power electronics such as Thyristors and IGBTs. It can be used as a drop-in upgrade to conventional Fieldstop IGBTs, offering reduced conduction losses while leveraging existing silicon-based systems, supply chains, and manufacturing infrastructure.
As global electricity demand increases due to various factors like AI infrastructure, data centers, electrification, renewable energy, and industrial systems, the efficiency of semiconductor switches controlling that electricity has become crucial. Pakal's technology aims to help system manufacturers reduce wasted power and deliver more usable energy without necessitating a complete change in power architecture.
The partnership will enable Pakal to accelerate the commercialization and market adoption of its IGTO technology by leveraging Prohubs' capabilities and market reach. Prohubs will provide customer engagement, design-in, distribution, and commercialization support across applications such as renewable energy, energy storage, industrial power systems, grid infrastructure, and electric mobility.
Prohubs' President, Vincent Lin, expressed enthusiasm for Pakal's approach to improving power semiconductor efficiency while building on the infrastructure and reliability of silicon.
