Intel renews €1.5m research partnership with Tyndall

Global computer giant Intel has renewed a $1.5m research partnership with the Tyndall National Institute, in Cork. They will develop the electronic devices of tomorrow.

The partnership, between Tyndall researchers and Intel’s components research facility in Portland, Oregon, will involve scientists investigating next-generation tech materials, devices and photonics technologies, including high-density, super-powerful computer chips.

Under the terms of this latest deal — the third time it has been renewed since it was first signed, in 2009 — Intel will invest $1.5m between now and 2018 in the development of technology with Tyndall. It also provides Intel with a commercial exploitation licence for technology created with the Tyndall team.
