Reinventing the Future of Chips

The explosive growth of data is reshaping our world—how we live, work and connect. As our devices become increasingly interconnected, we’re entering a new era—one where machine-to-machine generated data far exceeds human generated data.

Current systems have limitations in processing relevant data leading to inefficiencies and rising energy costs. This needs to be addressed by smarter, faster, and more efficient processing at the edge.

However, every technological advance comes with environmental costs. The world urgently needs innovative solutions that balance growth with sustainability, minimising environmental impact.
