NEUROTEC: Neuro-inspired artificial intelligence technologies for the electronics of the future

Digitalization affects our entire society - in business, industry, transport, communication, culture, and entertainment. At the same time, the share of information technology in electricity consumption is growing significantly, linked to an intensification of the global challenge of climate protection. In addition, artificial intelligence (AI) already accounts for a large and continuously increasing part of information technology.

The vision of the structural change project NEUROTEC is to research and develop alternative paths to future AI that are orders of magnitude more energy-efficient than the current state of the art of computing. In this way, the NEUROTEC project contributes to making growth in the AI industry more sustainable. It simultaneously creates new added value in the Rhineland region with the preservation of existing and the establishment of new industrial jobs in the region.
