Why is the world’s leading innovation hub so excited about a tiny Australian tech company?

Talking to Dr Guido Arnout, Phd and CEO of 4DS Memory, is a little like getting a science lesson from your favorite professor.

You learn a lot.

You never feel like he’s talking down to you.

And you walk away going “Wow, I really get it now."

I recently got the chance to have a quiet chat with the Belgium born electrical engineer in his humble Silicon Valley office.

Arnout leads a team that is pioneering the development of a technology known as ‘Interface Switching ReRAM.’

To you and me that may not mean a lot.

But the 4DS technology, which has been proven to work as a single cell, could change the way all mobile devices and cloud data centers function plus open the door to the development of new technologies we haven't even thought of yet.

Now I'm interested.

But if it works why isn’t it out there already?

They need to prove it at scale.

What’s exciting about 4DS Memory, and the reason we invested in it some time ago, is that it is unlike any technology before it.

It’s unique to the point that it even has IMEC very excited!

Again I hear you.

Who?

Say what?

IMEC is “THE” R&D and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technology on the planet.

4DS Memory has taken it’s technology to the Belgium based IMEC and it’s team of three and a half thousand of the world’s best brains, to work it from a single cell to a functioning megabit chip.

As it turns out, according to Arnout, they have never seen anything like it and as a result are very excited.

This interview explains why.
