The SiliconBurmuin initiative is aimed to set up a multidisciplinary community in the Basque Country, bringing together the largest university in the region and six research centres with expertise in technology and scientific areas related to neuroscience, neurology, mathematics, microelectronics, AI and algorithms.

SiliconBurmuin is backed by the Basque Government, and is completed with the Basque Microelectronics Hub to build institutional liaison with the Spanish PERTE Chip and EU’s Chips Act. A major goal of SiliconBurmuin is to reveal and transform neuroscience knowledge into neuromorphic technology to meet the most demanding industry needs, initially targeting the vision requirements of autonomous train navigation.
