The Philippines’ ‘father of semiconductor’ Dado Banatao passes away at age 79.

Banatao helped build the foundations of modern computing with his groundbreaking innovations that revolutionised personal computers, making them faster, cheaper and more accessible to millions worldwide. As the founder and managing partner of Tallwood Venture Capital, his firm focuses on semiconductor technology and continues to back innovations that shape the future of computing. Through his Dado Banatao Educational Fund, he provides scholarships to young aspiring engineers.

Banatao reminds us that it’s the decision to stand back up and fight for our goals that defines the journey to success. Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends during this difficult time.
