Ambiq expands Singapore R&D to advance ultra-low power edge AI innovation

This press release was issued by Ambiq.

Ambiq, a global leader in ultra-low-power semiconductor solutions, today announced a multi-year research and development (R&D) programme in Singapore, supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), to advance next-generation edge artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and further the development of Ambiq’s subthreshold power optimized technology (SPOT^®) for licensing.

Next-generation edge AI enables intelligence to be processed directly on devices—such as wearables, smart infrastructure, and industrial systems—without constant reliance on cloud connectivity. By combining AI performance with ultra-low power consumption, these technologies enable always-on, responsive, and energy-efficient applications. Through the licensing of Ambiq’s SPOT platform, these energy-efficient capabilities can be adopted more broadly across diverse products and market segments, accelerating the deployment of edge AI across a wider range of devices and use cases.

The new office will support the expansion of teams and activities across research, engineering, design, product, and business development. The company has also begun partnering with Singapore Institutes of Higher Learning, public research institutions, and local SMEs to promote talent development, applied research, and ecosystem collaboration.
