Neuromorphic technology in Europe : Brain-inspired technologies are advancing apace across Europe and are poised to help accelerate the AI revolution

By taking loose inspiration from the brain, artificial neural network algorithms have made tremendous progress in artificial intelligence. However, to unlock significant gains in terms of novel real-world capabilities, performance and efficiency, a more ambitious step needs to be taken: to develop a new technology that emulates neural computation directly at the hardware level. The NEUROTECH network presents its vision of these ‘neuromorphic’ technologies and their innovative potential in Europe.
