eMemory is a leading intellectual property (IP) company that is fully dedicated to inventing
the most advanced and applicable embedded non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies.
eMemory's core technologies Neobit, NeoFlash and NeoE2 are widely built on more than 120
process nodes at various foundries and integrated device manufacturers (IDMs) from 0.70μm to
65nm generations. Neobit is a programmable logic device aiming for embedded one-time
programmable (OTP)/multi-time programmable (MTP) applications. It utilizes
hot electron injection for programming, while erasure can be achieved through ultraviolet
(UV) exposure. And zero additional mask layers are required. NeoFlash is the ultimate solution
aiming for embedded Flash applications. It utilizes a single-poly Flash structure and requires
only up to three additional non-critical masks to be embedded into CMOS logic processes.
NeoE2 is a programmable logic device aiming for embedded MTP/electrically erasable
programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) applications. It is derived from Neobit and
allows for electrical erasure operation. And zero additional mask layers are required.
eMemory's technologies do not require customers to change existing processes. Instead,
an innovative circuit memory design with characters of simple design, reliable structure,
high yield and easy-to-port helps customers quickly break past technical limitations and
create powerful new features. eMemory also provides quick turnaround time and dedicated
customized engineering services to help customers create market competitiveness by
substantial cost saving.

The Hellenic Semiconductor Industry Association (HSIA) was established in 2005
to represent the semiconductor, micro- and nano-electronics, and embedded systems
industry in Greece. It initially had 13 industrial members. Today, it brings together 50 industrial
members and 30 universities and institutes. Industrial members range from small start-ups
to subsidiaries of multi-national corporations, with the majority being rapidly growing small
and medium enterprises (SMEs), serving parts of the microelectronics supply chain. Several
members are either venture capital (VC)-funded or corporate-backed by companies with
an international presence. The products and services of HSIA members vary from electronic
design automation (EDA) software, design and IP licensing, and embedded software to
manufacturing. HSIA customers represent markets such as mobile communications, multimedia,
defense, home and office appliances, and consumer electronics. The organization's vision is
to establish the Greek microelectronic industry as a cradle of innovation and as a dynamic partner
within the global high-tech market.

MIPS Technologies, a leading provider of microprocessor IP, is driving the revolutionary
Android platform into a wide range of consumer electronic products to enable a rich,
connected user experience. Initially finding success in mobile handsets, Android required
extensions to be viable for other devices because of different user interfaces and usage models.
Since making the Android on MIPS code publicly available in August 2009, MIPS and
its partners have delivered to Android support for full 1080p high-definition (HD) video,
multi-channel audio, a 10-foot user interface, Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)
and other key technologies. In January, the company demonstrated the world's first set-top
boxes (STBs) running Android, along with an Android on a MIPS netbook and other
products that weren't originally envisioned for Android but are now becoming a reality. There
are more than 3,300 members of the Android on MIPS community who are developing and
delivering innovative devices that leverage Android on MIPS—the processor architecture
of choice for the digital home and beyond.
