Chip Talk > Accelerating Electric Vehicles: Innoscience and United Electronics' GaN Joint Lab
Published August 25, 2025
In a strategic move to harness the potential of GaN technology in the electric vehicle (EV) sector, InnoScience Technology Holding Co Ltd and United Automotive Electronic Systems Co Ltd (UAES) have joined forces to establish a specialized laboratory aimed at developing advanced power electronics systems for new energy vehicles.
Located at UAES's Suzhou R&D Center, the new lab underscores the synergy between Innoscience, known for its 8-inch GaN-on-silicon power chips, and UAES, a global leader in automotive electronics. This partnership promises to enhance strength through shared expertise, particularly under the leadership of Dr. Xiaolu Guo and Dr. Jingang Wu, the deputy general manager of UAES and CEO of Innoscience respectively.
Gallium nitride (GaN) technology offers distinct advantages such as reduced size, weight, and enhanced efficiency, crucial for the evolving demands of electric vehicles. The newly formed lab focuses on pioneering innovations like high-power-density on-board chargers (OBCs), which represent a significant leap forward in addressing the rising power demands and device miniaturization in EVs.
According to UAES deputy general manager Dr. Xiaolu Guo, this collaboration marks a significant step in boosting innovation in GaN OBC solutions. By leveraging Innoscience’s prowess in GaN technology, both entities aim to deliver solutions that redefine industry standards in reliability and performance.
Innoscience boasts the world’s largest 8-inch GaN production capacity and has developed high-performance, reliable processes. From voltage ranges between 15V to 1200V, these capabilities assure innoscience's commitment to pushing the boundaries of GaN-based innovation within the global EV market.
Through this strategic partnership, Innoscience and UAES are set to complement each other's strengths and break new ground in electric vehicle technology. The commitment to optimizing GaN applications in EVs could catalyze advancements impacting not just the automotive sector but potentially extending to the broader clean technology landscape.
This historic collaboration signifies more than mutual benefit; it’s an investment in a cleaner, more efficient automotive future that is firmly rooted in technological advancements through GaN power solutions.
