Imec, CEA-Leti Form AI and Quantum Computing Hub

Two of Europe’s key electronics and nanotechnologies research institutes — imec in Belgium and CEA-Leti in France — will collaborate to develop a European hub for artificial intelligence and quantum computing.As security and privacy issues rise up the agenda in almost every organization, the race is on to process more at the edge and put more intelligence at endpoints. For electronics systems design, most of the major chip companies now offer or are developing deep learning and edge AI devices or intellectual property. The edge AI devices are often complete computer sub-systems displaying intelligent behavior locally on the hardware devices (chips), analyzing their environment and taking required actions to achieve specific goals.Edge AI is considered now to hold the promise of solving many societal challenges — from treating diseases that cannot yet be cured today, to minimizing the environmental impact of farming. Decentralization from the cloud to the edge is a key challenge of AI technologies applied to large heterogeneous systems. This requires innovation in the components industry with powerful, energy-guzzling processors.This is where imec and CEA-Leti hope to develop a European center of excellence. The two organizations signed a memorandum of understanding during the state visit of French president Emmanuel Macron to Belgium, laying the foundation for a strategic partnership in AI and quantum computing, two key strategic value chains for European industry, to strengthen European strategic and economic sovereignty.The joint efforts of imec and CEA-Leti underline Europe’s ambition to take a leading role in the development of these technologies. The research centers’ increased collaboration will focus on developing, testing and experimenting neuromorphic and quantum computing — and should result in the delivery of a digital hardware computing toolbox that can be used by European industry partners to innovate in a wide variety of application domains — from personalized healthcare and smart mobility to the new manufacturing industry and smart energy sectors."The ability to develop technologies such as AI and quantum computing — and put them into industrial use across a wide spectrum of applications —  is one of Europe’s major challenges," said Luc Van den hove, president and CEO of imec, in a press statement. "Both quantum and neuromorphic computing (to enable artificial intelligence) are very promising areas of innovation, as they hold a huge industrialization potential.”  Van den hove said a stronger collaboration in these domains between imec and CEA-Leti would help to speed up the technologies’ development time, providing them with the critical mass needed to create faster impact.Emmanuel Sabonnadière, CEA-Leti CEO, said the collaboration with imec as well as previous innovation-collaboration agreements with Germany's the Fraunhofer Group for Microelectronics "will focus all three institutes to the task of keeping Europe at the forefront of new digital hardware for AI, HPC and cyber-security applications.”Imec and CEA-Leti are inviting partners from industry as well as academia to join them and benefit from access to the research centers’ technology —  enabling a much higher degree of device complexity, reproducibility and material perfection while sharing the costs of precompetitive research.

Imec and CEA-Leti join forces on Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing

The Belgian research centre imec and the French research institute CEA-Leti, two leading research and innovation hubs in nanotechnologies for industry, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) that lays the foundation of a strategic partnership in the domains of Artificial Intelligence and quantum computing.The joint efforts of imec and CEA-LETI underline Europe’s ambition to take a leading role in the development of these technologies and this increased collaboration will focus on developing, testing and experimenting neuromorphic and quantum computing – and should result in the delivery of a digital hardware computing toolbox that can be used by European industry partners to innovate in a wide variety of application domains – from personalised healthcare and smart mobility to the new manufacturing industry and smart energy sectors.Edge Artificial Intelligence (eAI) commonly refers to computer systems that display intelligent behavior locally on the hardware devices (e.g chips). They analyse their environment and take the required actions to achieve specific goals.Edge AI is poised to become a key driver of economic development. And, even more importantly perhaps, it holds the promise of solving many societal challenges – from treating diseases that cannot yet be cured today, to minimising the environmental impact of farming.Decentralisation from the cloud to the edge is a key challenge of AI technologies applied to large heterogeneous systems. This requires innovation in the components industry with powerful, energy-guzzling processors.“The ability to develop technologies such as AI and quantum computing – and put them into industrial use across a wide spectrum of applications – is one of Europe’s major challenges. Both quantum and neuromorphic computing (to enable artificial intelligence) are very promising areas of innovation, as they hold a huge industrialisation potential,” said Luc Van den hove, president and CEO of imec.“A stronger collaboration in these domains between imec and CEA-Leti, two of Europe’s leading research centers, will undoubtedly help to speed up the technologies’ development time: it will provide us with the critical mass that is required to create more – and faster – impact, and will result in plenty of new business opportunities for our European industry partners.”“Two European microelectronics pioneers today are joining forces to raise the game in both high-performance computing and trusted AI at the edge, and ultimately to fuel European industry success through innovations in aeronautics, defence, automobiles, Industry 4.0 and health care,” said Emmanuel Sabonnadière, Leti CEO. “This collaboration with imec following earlier innovation-collaboration agreements with the Fraunhofer Group for Microelectronics of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, the largest organization for applied research, will focus all three institutes to the task of keeping Europe at the forefront of new digital hardware for AI, HPC and Cyber-security applications.”Imec and CEA-Leti are inviting partners from industry as well as academia to join them and benefit from access to the research centers’ state-of-the-art technology with proven reproducibility – enabling a much higher degree of device complexity, reproducibility and material perfection while sharing the costs of precompetitive research.

CEA-Leti Moves Fast on New CEO

　　CEA-Leti, one of the largest micro- and nanotechnologies research institutes in Europe, lost its head recently, but recovered by naming Emmanuel Sabonnadiere as CEO, succeeding Marie-No?lle Semeria.　　CEA-Leti has provided no explanation of Semeria’s contract non-renewal. Late last month, CEA-Leti’s CEO from 2014 to 2017, announced her decision to take a position as CTO of Total, a French multinational integrated oil and gas company.　　Sabonnadiere joins Leti from CEA Tech, where he led the industrial-partnership program. Leti touted Sabonnadiere’s “strong background in new-technology development” and “broad private-sector expertise” as qualifications critical to multicultural organizations like Leti pursuing business transformation in Europe and globally.　　Leti, which employs 1,900 scientists and engineers, has been increasingly active in bridging two worlds — the more traditional European R&D institutions focused on deep technology development and newer commercial enterprises in the global market that need deep technologies to rapidly enable their ambitious agendas.　　With a portfolio of 2,700 patents, Leti has launched more than 60 startups thus far.　　In a statement, Sabonnadiere said, “Success in today’s demanding international digital landscape requires a combination of deep technological expertise, advanced platforms, a commitment to customer and partner success and a shared excitement and agility about the new opportunities.”　　He explained, “This is where Leti is today, and I am very excited to join this world-class team to develop the solutions that will bring digital innovations to the benefit of leading technology companies around the world.”　　Most notable in Sabonnadiere’s resume is his wealth of executive experience at several European enterprises.　　Prior to joining CEA, Sabonnadiere was CEO of the Philips Lighting’s Business Group Professional in Amsterdam. From 2008 to 2014, he was CEO and chairman of General Cable Europe in Barcelona, and from 2005 to 2008 he served as CEO of NKM Noell in Wurzburg, Germany. Before that, he served as vice president of Alstom T&D for five years. Early in his career, he held multiple positions at Schneider Electric, including managing director of development for equipment units.　　Sabonnadiere holds a Ph.D. in physics from the Ecole Centrale de Lyon, an MBA degree from Ecole Supérieure des Affaires de Grenoble and an engineering degree in information technology from the Université Technologie Compiègne.　　Semeria’s legacy　　Prior to the announcement of the new CEA-Leti CEO Tuesday, EE Times had a brief email exchange with Semeria. Speaking of her new position at Total, she wrote: “Exploring the new world of energy and taking the challenge of the big transition to renewable energies and of digital transformation is a new turn in my career.”　　Indeed, for Semeria, the move marks “a comeback to industry after 22 years in Leti and in public research.” She resolutely expressed her enthusiasm to the new job, calling it “a new challenge.”　　Although Semeria’s contract with CEA-Leti lasted only three years, she made key contributions to the 50-year old French laboratory institute.　　Among her achievements are a new model of cooperation among CEA Tech, universities, and the National Center for Scientific Research in clusters of projects while strengthening the pre-industrialization phase. She also promoted a culture of entrepreneurship within Leti and CEA Tech, while forging strategic partnerships with commercial enterprises based beyond the French border.　　During Semeria’s term, CEA-Leti signed an R&D agreement with Intel, with a plan for Leti to provide technologies that enable next-generation communication — one order of magnitude faster — for the Internet of Things.  CEA-Leti also became a partner to the Stanford SystemX Alliance.　　This past June, CEA-Leti announced an agreement to work with the Fraunhofer Group (Berlin), aligning their microelectronics innovation agenda in Europe. At the time of the announcement, Semeria told reporters, “By putting European large projects under a single roof, we can go faster [with our R&D], together.”
