Low-power Edge AI Chips

Objectives: The Digital-JU-Chips-2025-IA-LEAI grant, part of the Digital Europe Programme, is focused on developing AI chip prototypes that reach Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6-7. These chips should integrate advanced technologies like non-volatile memories, neuromorphic computing, 3D heterogeneous integration, and photonic connectivity. The projects should utilize infrastructures such as the Testing and Experimentation Facility (TEF) for Edge AI hardware and European pilot lines. The main goals are to enable real-time on-chip AI capabilities, achieve ultra-low power consumption in edge environments, and contribute to Europe’s digital transformation and sustainability goals, especially in applications like mobile communication, autonomous systems, industrial automation, and healthcare.
