Name in original language

Programme et Équipements Prioritaires de Recherche Exploratoire SPINtronique

Initiative overview

As part of the France 2030 programme, this initiative promotes digital technologies that are affordable, flexible, and environmentally friendly. Many current AI systems use a lot of energy and costly hardware, so the programme focuses on new solutions that use fewer resources without losing performance.

One promising technology is spintronics, which uses the spin of electrons instead of their charge to handle information. Spintronics could make AI devices faster and more energy-efficient than traditional electronics, helping create sustainable digital solutions.

The programme supports collaboration between researchers, companies, and public bodies to develop practical AI applications based on spintronics. By encouraging innovation in this area, the initiative aims to build adaptable and greener digital technologies.

Over time, this work is expected to help spread the use of spintronics and other efficient technologies, contributing to France’s goals for innovation and sustainability.
