EU's top four semiconductor researchers co-ordinate to help design edge AI chips

Co-ordinated and led by Europe based semiconductor research and technology organizations (RTOs), CEA-Leti, Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, imec, and VTT, an European Union consortium called PREVAIL was created and is now accepting design proposals. PREVAIL to spearhead the development of next-generation edge-AI technologies.
The PREVAIL project aims to establish a networked, multi-hub platform that facilitates the rapid design, evaluation, testing, and fabrication of cutting-edge circuits. Leveraging the state-of-the-art cleanroom facilities and expertise of its founding members, the project will provide prototype chip fabrication capabilities for stakeholders across Europe. These efforts are aligned with the overarching goal of positioning Europe as a leader in advanced manufacturing infrastructure, fostering innovation, and accelerating product commercialization. With an emphasis on high-performance, low-power edge components, the project not only addresses the burgeoning demand for AI-driven technologies but also contributes to the EU's broader digital transformation goals. Through strategic partnerships with SMEs, industrial collaborators, and academic institutions, the consortium aims to cultivate a collaborative ecosystem that drives technological innovation and advancement.
