Arm’s extensive AI ecosystem simplifies AI deployment by providing best-in-class tools, algorithms, and applications to customers worldwide. The Arm AI Partner Program creates and nurtures strategic alliances that empower its ecosystem to drive innovation, provides technical support and resources, and helps partners reach developers and decision-makers within their target markets.

“To support the wealth of opportunities that AI can provide, from automation of industrial devices to improved user experience for consumers, developers need access to intelligence at the edge,” said Mohamed Awad, vice president of IoT and Embedded at Arm. “As part of the Arm AI Partner Program, Brainchip will further enable developers to meet the need for high-performance and ultra-low power edge AI inference, unlocking new opportunities for innovation.”

In joining the program, Brainchip in turn builds out its own ecosystem for the Akida silicon-proven IP, while assuring compatibility of Brainchip’s IP with Arm’s product families. Akida provides cost-effective, high-performance, power-efficient AI processing for edge AI devices – even those in locations where there is limited or no connectivity.

“It’s valuable for Brainchip to be part of Arm’s portfolio of partners as Arm is not only a leading provider of AI technologies, but an industry influencer,” said Jerome Nadel, Brainchip CMO. “Arm offers us another channel to give end users access to Akida, the world’s first commercial neuromorphic AI accelerator, and to foster the development of best-in-class AI products and applications.”
