On March 29, 2026, Leapers Semiconductor celebrated the groundbreaking of its Yangzhou manufacturing facility in the morning, followed by the 2026 Strategy Summit in Wuxi in the afternoon. The summit brought together nearly 100 industry experts, partners, and investors across sectors including industrial, automotive (passenger and commercial), energy storage, and construction machinery to explore technology trends and collaboration opportunities.
Reintroducing Leapers to the World
At the opening of the summit, Jeff Ding, Founder and CEO of Leapers, delivered a keynote speech titled "Reintroducing Leapers to the World," articulating the company's development philosophy of "technology-driven and customer-first," along with its global strategic roadmap for 2026.
• 1. Striving to Create "Firsts"
Leapers will be guided by a "first" strategy. The SiC module market holds immense potential, yet competition is intensifying. In response, Leapers will focus on areas of strength and concentrate resources to establish leadership in one or two niche segments, using these as leverage to steadily build core competitive advantages.
• 2. Upgrading the R&D System
Leapers is committed to continuous technological innovation centered around customer value. Over the next three to five years, the company's R&D goal is to release new products every quarter.
• 3. Continuing to Expand Overseas Markets
Leapers will accelerate global expansion. By the end of 2025, approximately 50% of Leapers' business came from overseas markets, with key sales regions including Europe, the United States, Japan, and South Korea, while also beginning to explore the Middle East energy market and the Southeast Asian electric vehicle market.
Technical Insights
Following the signing of cooperation agreements and the new product launch, the summit shifted its focus from product showcases to in-depth technical discussions, moving into the Frontier Power Semiconductor Technology: Sharing and Discussion session. Six esteemed experts from industry associations and research institutions delivered insightful presentations on key topics, including power device technology evolution, the expanding applications of SiC devices, and the reliability design of automotive-grade power modules. The session provided attendees with a high-level technical exchange.
Gala Dinner
The day concluded with a gala dinner celebrating partnerships and shared success, featuring an awards ceremony and lucky draws.
From the groundbreaking of the Yangzhou production base to the successful conclusion of the 2026 Strategy Summit, Leapers will leverage the Yangzhou facility as a strategic hub to continuously increase investment in technology R&D, deepen collaboration across the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and provide higher-performance, more reliable power semiconductor solutions for the new energy industry in China and beyond.
