ADISYN ANNOUNCES STRATEGIC COLLABORATION WITH 2D GENERATION
TO ADVANCE AI AND SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNOLOGY
Highlights:
Collabora on with leading semiconductor IP business 2D Genera on to generate
transforma onal opportuni es in the AI space, leveraging AI1's learnings in data centres and
cybersecurity.
2D Genera on is developing applica ons to enable the next genera on of high-performance,
energy-efficient semiconductor solu ons for AI and datacentres
2D Genera on is a founding partner in the EU's Connec ng Chips Joint Undertaking
Research and innova on partners include NVIDIA, IMEC, Valeo, Applied Materials, NXP and
Unity.
Adisyn Ltd (ASX: AI1) (“Adisyn” or the “Company”) has entered into a binding collabora on
agreement (“Collabora on Agreement”) with 2D Genera on Ltd, a prominent interna onal
semiconductor IP business incorporated in Israel (“2D Genera on”). This partnership aims to
generate transforma onal opportuni es in the AI space, leveraging Adisyn’s exper se in data centre
management, managed IT services, and cybersecurity, alongside 2D Genera on’s industry-leading
capabili es in developing next-genera on AI semiconductor solu ons.
Driving AI and Semiconductor Innova on
The collabora on is poised to advance the development of high-performance, energy-efficient
semiconductor solu ons crucial for AI and data centres. 2D Genera on, renowned globally for its
intellectual property innova ons in semiconductors that enhance performance enabling genera ve
AI and significant data centre efficiencies, is also a founding partner in the EU's Connec ng Chips
Joint Undertaking, reflec ng its commitment to driving semiconductor advancements.
The Objec ves of the Collabora on
The applica ons of the jointly developed technologies will align with AI1’s dual track strategy of
AI enablement and advanced data centre and cyber security solu ons.
The material terms of the binding Collabora on Agreement are as follows:
Adisyn Ltd | ACN 155 473 304 | 1300 331 888 | 27 Aspira on Circuit, Bibra Lake WA 6163 | adisyn.com.au
1. Innova ve AI Chips: The partnership will focus on crea ng intellectual property for electronic
photonic power and systems on chips (SoC) and their integra on into systems in package (SiP)
modules.
2. High-Performance Compu ng: Applica ons will target AI, data centres, high-performance
compu ng, and other digital industries, including cybersecurity.
3. Environmental Impact: Addressing the scalability limita ons and massive energy demands of
semiconductors to reduce societal and environmental costs.
4. Within 60 days the par es will finalise a formal joint ac on plan regarding the implementa on
of the collabora on strategy going forward.
5. The par es will mutually fund the costs of developing the joint ac on plan and the
collabora on. Adisyn does not an cipate its contribu on to these costs to be material at this
stage. Further, Adisyn an cipates that the ini al revenues from the Collabora on will be
nominal at this stage, as is usually the case at the start of collabora ons of this nature.
6. The intellectual property developed from the ac on plan and the collabora on will be owned
solely by 2D Genera on with the right of assignment to Adisyn for commercialisa on on terms
yet to be formalised.
7. The term of the Collabora on Agreement is ongoing un l terminated in wri ng by either party.
Adisyn will keep shareholders updated in respect of the finalisa on of the formal joint ac on plan
and any further related agreements.
'Moore’s Law and Its Challenges
‘Moore’s Law states that the speed and capability of computers can be expected to double every
two years, but it is facing significant challenges as semiconductors approach scalability limits. In
addi on, the massive energy demands required for data storage and processing are genera ng
substan al costs for society and the environment. The collabora on between Adisyn and 2D
Genera on aims to develop and refine Adisyn's overall ar ficial intelligence strategy and priori es,
with a strong focus on energy efficient solu ons for data centres and cybersecurity.
“The collabora on between Adisyn and 2D Genera on marks a pivotal step in advancing AI and
semiconductor technology, promising to deliver innova ve solu ons for data centres and beyond.
This collabora on also underscores the cri cal role of semiconductors in the global economy and
their poten al for enabling sustainable solu ons” said Adisyn Managing Director Blake Burton.
The Broader AI and Semiconductor Market
The semiconductor industry is at the heart of the ongoing technological revolu on, driven by AI
advancements. According to a PwC report, the AI market is expected to reach $15.7 trillion by 2030,
with an annual growth rate of 26.4% between 2020 and 2024. This growth underscores the
importance of semiconductors in enabling AI technologies.
Adisyn Ltd | ACN 155 473 304 | 1300 331 888 | 27 Aspira on Circuit, Bibra Lake WA 6163 | adisyn.com.au
In 2020, the US invested $23.2 billion in AI research and development, with China following at $16.6
billion. The EU has also set an ambi ous goal of inves ng €20 billion annually in AI over the next
decade. The global AI chip market is projected to grow from $10.1 billion in 2020 to $253 billion by
2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 35%.
Looking forward
Shane Wee, AI1’s Chairman said “our interac ons with the 2D Genera on team to date have
provided a massive insight into the opportuni es that cu ng edge AI hardware and so ware offer
to the future of datacentres and cybersecurity defence industries. The collabora on has only just
begun and 2D Genera on’s contribu ons enabled specifically by the knowledge gained from their
industry partners par cularly through the Connec ngChips ini a ve are seismic.”
Founder and CEO of 2D Genera on, Arye Kohavi, agrees sta ng “semiconductors are reaching a
cri cal juncture where processing power cannot keep up with developments in AI and the
corresponding growth in data storage and manipula on requirements. Together with AI1 and our
other collabora on partners including IMEC and our Connec ngChips partners Nvidia, Valeo, AT&S
among others, we are dedicated to inspiring the next leap in compu ng.”
