ST and Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia sign R&D agreement

STMicroelectronics and the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT), an international scientific and technological research center based in Italy, have announced the signing of a formal agreement sealing their long-standing collaboration on a range of research activities, including Robotics, Neuroscience, Energy and Environment, and Health and Safety. The agreement, which will have an initial duration of three years, builds on many years of previous cooperation between the two parties. The cooperation uses multiple Joint Research Programs to exploit the synergies between IIT’s high-level expertise in long-term megatrends such as robotics, nanotechnology, pattern analysis, and computer vision and ST’s leading-edge know-how in semiconductor technology and design. “ST has always recognized the value of combining our own commercially-oriented R&D activities with the longer-term work conducted by research institutes and universities,” said Nunzio Abbate, System Lab & Subsystem Product Group General Manager, STMicroelectronics. “This strengthened collaboration with IIT will bring benefits that cascade to our customers and to their projects in a broad range of semiconductor applications.” “Semiconductor technology plays a pivotal role in enabling the breakthroughs we make in our labs to become real products that benefit the world,” said Salvatore Majorana, Technology Transfer ...
