Finance chief talks $10 bn acquisitions, the strategic importance of IR and how Infineon is powering everything from AI to driverless cars

Semiconductors and chips might be synonymous with Taiwan. But Germany’s Infineon Technologies is not only growing its own market share in key industries but is helping to drive forward the EU’s goals on chip manufacturing – captured in the European Chips Act, which aims to double the bloc’s share of global chip production to 20 percent by 2030.

Infineon also happens to excel at investor relations, taking home some of the most prestigious awards at this year’s IR Impact Awards – Europe. The firm won the gong for best overall investor relations (large cap); best investor relations officer (large cap) for Alexander Foltin and Daniel Györy; and the best in sector award in the technology category. In our latest installment of The CFO, we talk all things IR with Dr Sven Schneider.
