Sweden’s national neuromorphic ecosystem

Intelligence for scalable real-world interaction.

Neuromorphic technologies enable energy-efficient, adaptive and resilient sensing and computation at the interface between AI and the physical world.

Neuromorphic Sweden is a neutral national network connecting universities, research institutes, industry, startups and public actors working to advance neuromorphic technology in Sweden.

Why neuromorphic?

Computing closer to the world and sensors.

Neuromorphic technology takes inspiration from nervous systems to process information when and where it matters. It complements conventional digital AI with new ways to sense, compute and adapt under tight constraints.

01

Event-driven

Respond to meaningful changes instead of processing every sample.

02

Near-sensor

Process information close to where it is produced.

03

In and near memory

Reduce costly data movement between memory and processors.

04

Adaptive by design

Use material, circuit and system dynamics as part of computation.

Strategic focus

Five areas for shared progress.

Open workshops held through the former NEUTEC project consolidated opportunities where Swedish capabilities can contribute across research and application.

01

Telecom and distributed infrastructure

Adaptive, energy-efficient user equipment, radio access networks, signal processing and integrated sensing and communication.

02

Robotics and vehicles

Low-power local perception, sensor fusion and responsive autonomy without continuous dependence on cloud infrastructure.

03

Extreme and inaccessible environments

Persistent sensing and autonomous operation in space, subsea, industrial, environmental and critical-infrastructure settings.

04

Healthcare and biointegrated systems

Wearable and implantable sensing, continuous monitoring, prosthetics and interfaces built from biocompatible materials.

05

The perceptual layer of AI

Multimodal sensors and near-sensor intelligence that interpret real-world events before higher-level reasoning.

A shared foundation

Mapped nationally.
Shaped openly.

Two completed Vinnova-funded feasibility studies mapped capabilities, engaged the ecosystem and developed a shared strategic direction.

The 2025 NIPS study combined national mapping and interviews with an open workshop in Stockholm to identify opportunities and shared needs. Building on that foundation, NEUTEC brought around one hundred participants into three further open workshops.
