The vision
As AI systems move beyond the digital into the physical world, the transformative potential of artificial intelligence enters a new phase.
Fulfilling that potential requires more than progress in algorithms alone. It depends on sustained innovation on many levels: scaling of logic, memory, and interconnect technologies; removing data movement bottlenecks by using integrated photonics; and exploring new architectures.
This demands close collaboration across the semiconductor ecosystem, combining deep technology expertise with system-level integration. It is a spirit imec knows well in Japan, building on decades-long R&D partnerships with leading companies from the Japanese semiconductor industry.
At ITF Japan, imec's flagship event in the region, you will discover the latest advancements in semiconductor technology, from research to development and manufacturing, and how they shape next-generation system performance in both cloud and edge environments.
