EPC: The GaN Disruptor

Technology pioneer, geopolitical asset and strategic scaling candidate — refreshed after primary research with EPC CEO Alex Lidow at PCIM Europe 2026

Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (EPC) is one of the companies that turned enhancement-mode gallium nitride (eGaN) from an engineering proposition into a commercial power-device platform. Founded in 2007 by Alex Lidow — co-inventor of the silicon power MOSFET and former CEO of International Rectifier — EPC shipped the first commercial eGaN transistors in 2009 and has since built a focused portfolio of GaN power devices, integrated circuits, automotive-qualified parts and radiation-hardened products for space and defense.
