Surging data traffic and related energy consumption by data centres, partly due to the rapid increase of AI, cause an unsustainable demand that can’t be met by modern computers.
For this reason, it’s time for a new generation of computers: future-proof computing. This type of computing is an approach that mimics processes of the human brain and is called neuromorphic computing.
Our mission is to make a lasting difference in the field of neuromorphic computing: developing materials, devices, and algorithms that work together in harmony, just as neurons and synapses do in the brain.
We aim to move beyond the limits of conventional silicon technology, crafting computing architectures that are not only powerful, but profoundly energy-efficient and sustainable.
