Future Computing Technologies and Energy Efficient Computation: Neuromorphic Computing

Neuromorphic computing, an emerging computational architecture inspired by the human brain, mimics how neurons and synapses process information. This design makes neuromorphic systems highly energy efficient, positioning them as a disruptive alternative to traditional computing methods, which rely heavily on energy-intensive data centres. These architectures could be especially advantageous for edge computing applications like robotics and autonomous vehicles. However, the potential opportunities of AI may well be lost if more energy- and environmentally efficient chips, such as neuromorphic models, are not developed over the coming decades. This area of technology is incredibly interdisciplinary, bringing together expertise in areas such as neuroscience, materials, computer science, electronics and software engineering.

About the event

Innovate UK will be hosting this in person event with the aim of bringing together this interdisciplinary community for a day of knowledge sharing and networking.

Join the event to hear from a range of technology developers that are designing and applying innovations within this emerging field. The event will showcase some of the innovative technologies that are being developed in the UK across the neuromorphic computing discipline such as materials and hardware, give an overview into potential applications and highlight organisations that can support innovation journeys.

Who is this event for?

This event is for anyone with an interest neuromorphic computing, novel computational architectures, low power and edge computing applications. We particularly welcome attendees from business, industry, academia, policy, venture capital as well as end-use industries.
