The agreement, signed at LS Electric's research and development campus in Anyang, Gyeonggi Province, was attended by LS Electric Executive Vice President Ahn Gil-young, who oversees production and research and business development; Infineon Chief Sales Officer and Senior Vice President Andreas Weisl, who leads the company's industrial and infrastructure division; and Lee Seung-soo, CEO of Infineon Technologies Korea. The companies will co-develop power semiconductor-based DC solutions, including power conversion systems for energy storage systems, solid-state transformers and solid-state circuit breakers — components that reduce power-conversion steps to cut energy loss and improve efficiency in high-density environments like AI data centers. LS Electric will lead system design, integration and commercialization, while Infineon", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ls-electric-infineon-team-up-to-power-ai-data-center-boom", "canonical_source": "https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/business/companies/20260713/ls-electric-infineon-team-up-to-power-ai-data-center-boom?utm_source=rss", "published_at": "2026-07-13 04:37:02+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-13 04:39:26.800472+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-infrastructure", "ai-chips"], "entities": ["LS Electric", "Infineon Technologies", "Ahn Gil-young", "Andreas Weisl", "Lee Seung-soo", "Infineon Technologies Korea"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ls-electric-infineon-team-up-to-power-ai-data-center-boom", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ls-electric-infineon-team-up-to-power-ai-data-center-boom.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ls-electric-infineon-team-up-to-power-ai-data-center-boom.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ls-electric-infineon-team-up-to-power-ai-data-center-boom.jsonld"}}
