AI with impact: Infineon wins “AI Impact Award 2026” for delivering measurable business value in semiconductor manufacturing

Infineon Technologies AG has been honored with the AI Impact Award 2026 for its “GenAI for Test Engineering” program. The award is presented by manager magazin and Porsche Consulting and recognizes companies that demonstrate outstanding, measurable business impact through the targeted application of artificial intelligence.

“I am extremely proud of our team and this recognition,” says Elke Reichart, Member of the Management Board and Chief Digital and Sustainability Officer at Infineon. “This award validates our holistic approach to AI: as a technology provider as well as a technology user. We deploy artificial intelligence precisely where it creates measurable value for our customers and our business. The ‘GenAI for Test Engineering’ project is an excellent example of how Infineon effectively combines digitalization and innovation to deliver greater benefit.”

Infineon was recognized for its project “GenAI for Test Engineering – Automated Test Programming” in the category Manufacturing & Supply Chain. The project leverages purpose-built AI agents, multimodal large language models (LLMs), and domain-specific expertise to automate the generation of test code in semiconductor manufacturing. As a result, the time required to create software code for testing new semiconductor solutions can be reduced by 50 percent in the short term and by up to 80 percent in the long term. This represents a significant productivity gain for several hundred test engineers and makes an important contribution to faster time-to-market and higher product quality. Developed in close collaboration with test engineers, the solution is continuously monitored to ensure compliance with the Infineon AI Manifesto and ethical standards.

The AI Impact Award is jointly presented by manager magazin and Porsche Consulting and recognizes outstanding AI solutions that demonstrably create economic value within companies and across industries. A jury composed of experts from industry associations, business, and academia evaluates submissions across three categories: Product & Customer Experience, Manufacturing & Supply Chain, and Organization & Administration. The award-winning companies were honored at a ceremony held at the ESO Supernova in Garching near Munich. Manager magazin will feature the winners in a dedicated editorial piece, presenting their achievements to a broad professional audience.
