Navitas licenses its GeneSiC Trench-Assisted Planar (TAP) silicon carbide technology to Magnachip across 1200V–3300V+ voltage ratings, enabling the South Korean chipmaker to enter high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage power markets whilst gaining access to Navitas' supply chain and materials ecosystem. The partnership targets grid infrastructure, energy storage, industrial electrification and automotive applications.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors, Clean Energy and Energy Storage. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

The Wire takeaway

If you make power conversion gear for grid or industrial systems, Magnachip just became a second-source for SiC switching at scale. Navitas validated the market; now there's competition on supply and price.
