Since we have hit physical limits on shrinking, innovation is moving to the back end. Smart packaging—heterogeneous integration—is the next frontier: stacking dies, combining chips in modules. That is where companies like us come in. Technologies like hybrid bonding will be key in the coming years.

AI is real, and digital transformation is non-negotiable. But the second message is: do not underestimate the human factor. White-collar industries have not seen deep cuts for years—but now, some functions may shrink by 50–80%. You need people to work alongside AI agents, not against them. To implement this successfully, you need to be clear and human.

In the future, computing will be a distributed architecture. CPUs will remain as the master controllers—though slow. GPUs will handle simpler, more parallel tasks. Photonic processors like our Native Processing Unit (NPU) will specialise in complex, nonlinear mathematics. And quantum computers will be added for problems only they can solve.

The key in the future will be “Collaborative Safety”. For example “Radar live” counts and reports where a worker is. This means that human behaviour can be transmitted to the machine to anticipate dangerous situations and prevent them from arising through appropriate system control. This is the possibility of allowing autonomously operating machines to coexist with humans in the same space.
