Brandon Smith, President of
Global Sources' joint venture subsidiary eMedia Asia Limited, said:
"Since 2007, China ACE Awards has been recognizing the
companies, technologies and people that facilitate the remarkable
advances and innovations in China's electronics industry. This year, our
judging panel has launched the Lifetime Achievement Award: China
Semiconductor Industry to honor individuals who have made
significant contributions to the industry, as well as to highlight
the growing influence of China's
IC industry in the local and global arena. The first recipient of
this award is leading industry figure Dr. Wei Shaojun."
Throughout his remarkable career, Dr. Wei has developed many
successful chips and now serves as the General Director of China
Semiconductor Industry Association IC Design Branch. In this
position, Dr. Wei actively promotes communications between the
local semiconductor industry and other organizations and peers
around the world, and works closely with the China government in crafting policies that
advance the industry. His ongoing teaching career continues to
contribute outstanding talent to the industry.
Yorbe Zhang, Head of Content of eMedia Asia and chair of the judging panel, added:
"In addition to Dr. Wei, we are honoring Focal Tech CEO
Genda Hu, who was voted Executive of
the Year. For China's fast-growing
and fiercely competitive smartphone market, Hu exemplifies the
meaning of an industry leader by spearheading technology innovation
and supply chain integration through acquisitions, ultimately
resulting to the advanced development of smartphones we see in
China today."
Recognition for the industry's best
Multinationals also took center stage at the awards ceremony for
their innovative products and solutions. Texas Instruments was
voted Company of the Year. Intel, Taiwan Semiconductor and ON
Semiconductor won Most Promising Technology of the Year in the
Internet of Things (IoT), Environmental and Life-saving categories,
respectively, while China's
Vimicro was awarded Start-up Technology of the Year for its SoC
design. Winners of these Company Awards were determined through
public online voting, from a shortlist of finalists chosen by the
judging panel.
Winners of Product of the Year Awards include ADI, Broadcom,
Infineon, Keysight, Linear Technology, Maxim Integrated, Qualcomm,
STMicroelectronics, TE Connectivity and Texas Instruments. They
were also selected through public online voting, while the Editors'
Choice Awards were chosen by a panel of senior industry analysts
from EE Times-China, ESM-China and EDN-China.
Innovator of the Year, an Editor's Choice Award, went to
Gu Jing, Technical Director of
Yunyinggu Technology. Through Gu's leadership, Yunyinggu's R&D
team was able to develop a new generation of sub-pixel rendering
technology that significantly improves screen resolution and
maintains high color saturation, low power consumption and low
cost, without changing existing production structure and
processes.
