NeuroMem Technologies, a General Vision Inc company, has formalised a technical and business partnership with Synvue Sdn Bhd to enable and foster the growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology in Malaysia.
With respective strengths in advance electronics and Artificial Intelligence, this partnership was agreed and signed during the recent IMESS IEEE symposium held in Penang, Malaysia, where Prof Pierre Brunswick, AI evangelist and CEO at Neuromem presented its revolutionary neuromorphic AI chip technology.
Announcing the partnership on the sidelines of GITEX Technology Week, Brunswick said: “This partnership and cooperation will enable and foster the deployment of Artificial Intelligence in Malaysia and we hope to do replicate similar partnerships with the right partners here in the Middle East and Africa where there are strong initiatives to support the community and build a knowledge economy,” said Brunswick.
“We strongly believe in empowering our partners who understand the local needs and enable them to foster the adoption of AI. Across the globe, we have been working with developers of a wide range of applications using our technology and can offer the knowledge created with organisations and AI developers across the Middle East.”
In the hardware-based sector, Neuromem is focusing on the integration of AI in smart buildings, smart infrastructure, security, medical and related applications, drones, IoT and robotics – anywhere that uses sensors to filter information to make business decision, securely and cost effectively.
The agreement with Malaysian partner, Synvue, will help to develop and drive Artificial Intelligence-centric hardware and software solutions and technology content for Malaysian industries, universities, school and open source communities. Awareness and education in Artificial Intelligence among the science and technology student community, as well industry professionals, will be a primary focus. Among major identified strategic area of cooperation between Synvue and Neuromem include:
- Neuromorphic memory and FPGA integration
- Neuromorphic memory, Royalty Free RISC soft processor integration
- Linux based development with Open Source Community
- Project Board and Kits
- Trainings for students up to Mastering AI
Synvue Sdn Bhd is a Penang-based advanced electronic design and development company that provides technical engagement, consultancy, training and solutioning though technologies such as FPGA, SOC, IOT, Vision System and System Engineering. These core technologies are foundation to advance electronics solutions in multiple verticals like advanced manufacturing, healthcare, retail, transportation and education.
NeuroMem Technologies believes that nonstop learning, and pattern recognition offered by its technology can become practical and ubiquitous only if it can rely on components inspired by the human brain (which it calls neuromorphic memories), merging storage and local processing per cell, with massively parallel interconnected cells operating at low power.
Additionally, Synvue and NeuroMem will offer Knowledge as A Service, with domain knowledge and consultancy related to Artificial Intelligence for schools, colleges, polytechnic, universities and industries. There are plans to establish an Artificial Intelligence Lab encompassing all these technologies. These efforts are aimed at developing technical talent and calibre in Malaysia and further the adoption of AI.
