This year, we are honored to invite Arm CEO Simon Segars to talk about how technology can accelerate the recovery of the industry after the pandemic and discover the unlimited potential of future computing."
Simon Segars will share his views on how Arm® technology can be used as a remarkable force for good and help with the post-pandemic recovery. The combination of computing in the age of AI will accelerate tackling complex challenges surrounding climate change, security and equitable access to technologies and connectivity.
Though the world has been impacted by the pandemic for more than a year, the digital adoption curve is not slowing. In the "AI Empowerment" session of the COMPUTEX Forum on the afternoon of June 2, Rene Haas will share the unprecedented acceleration of compute trends driven by the growing demands for ubiquitous intelligence across every device on the compute spectrum. He will also explain why the complex AI and ML workloads of today and tomorrow will require more than general-purpose computing.
Arm technology is changing the way people live and businesses operate. Over the past five years, more than 100 billion Arm-based devices have been shipped and reached 70% of the world’s population. The newly released Armv9 architecture will address the global demand for ubiquitous specialized processing with increasingly capable security and artificial intelligence (AI).
Arm will share how its solutions can empower technological innovation in the COMPUTEX CEO Keynote and COMPUTEX FORUM.

It is also about automated systems that have been trusted too quickly,” says Sebastien Can
Industrial Decarbonization: Calderion, WenCo and Terravent Invest in Graforce to Scale Plasma Pyrolysis Globally25.2.2026 09:07:00 EET | Press release
The investor consortium comprising the Paris-based Next Generation Fuels Industrial & Technological fund Calderion (Audacia), alongside infrastructure developer Terravent and WenCo Family Office, announces the closing of a strategic double-digit million-euro financing round for Berlin-based Graforce GmbH. The investment is dedicated to the industrial scale-up of Graforce’s proprietary plasma pyrolysis technology, addressing the growing global demand for cost-efficient low-carbon hydrogen, syngas, and carbon removal solutions that are compatible with existing industrial infrastructures. Disruptive alternative to conventional processes Graforce’s technology aims at replacing CO₂-intensive legacy routes such as steam reforming and classical gasification. By applying plasma to methane, biogas, flare gas, and landfill gas, the process converts these streams into their valuable molecular components instead of emitting them. The result is a high-efficiency production of clean hydrogen and syn
Mevion Medical Systems Announces CE Marking of the MEVION S250-FIT™ Proton Therapy System, Expanding Global Access to Compact Proton Therapy25.2.2026 09:00:00 EET | Press release
Mevion Medical Systems, the global leader in compact proton therapy, today announced that the MEVION S250-FIT Proton Therapy System has successfully completed the conformity assessment process and has received CE Marking under Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (EU MDR). This regulatory milestone enables the marketing, sale, and clinical use of the MEVION S250-FIT system throughout the European Union, building on the system’s existing U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance granted in September 2025. The MEVION S250-FIT is the first and only proton therapy system designed to fit into a standard radiation therapy vault. By enabling cancer centers to use their existing infrastructure, the MEVION S250-FIT dramatically reduces the cost, complexity, and timeline traditionally associated with proton therapy adoption. This opens a new pathway for hospitals and cancer centers across Europe to bring advanced proton treatment to their patients. “With both FDA clearance and CE Marking now in hand, the MEVION S250-FIT is
