EDGX and BrainChip Holdings Ltd. announced a collaborative agreement to develop data processing units for very demanding environments. Space infrastructure is increasingly becoming more important in everyday lives. Satellite based services are fundamental to global navigation, weather forecasting, secure communications, climate monitoring, and for rapid response to natural disasters, just to name a few.

As the space industry is trying to become a self-sustaining economy, satellite launches are booming. EDGX recognized the growing demand and opportunity for product-driven innovation within the space industry. EDGX is developing a new data processing unit concept that combines classic AI acceleration with neuromorphic computing to decrease onboard AI power dissipation, increase adaptability and ultimately enable autonomous learning capabilities onboard next generation satellites.

EDGX and BrainChip are building up their partnership by signing a Non-binding Memorandum of Understanding at European Space Agency's (ESA) EDHPC Conference, in Juan-les-Pins, France.
