Beyond Moore, into mission: imec innovations shaping next-gen resilience

As the security and defense industry accelerates into deep technology, it is essential to develop effective innovation pipelines that can transform early-stage research and dual-use technologies into industrial capabilities, with sufficient absorption capacity to realise their potential.

Imec is in the initial stages of engaging with the security sector, yet our roadmap already indicates significant advances in resilience, including earlier detection, smarter computing, and improved communication under stress with tighter SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power). This talk surveys a few promising areas, focusing on what makes them disruptive, the step changes they target and their current level of maturity.
