well as the university community access to world-class engineering expertise
and resources,” said Simon Yu, president of Arrow’s Asia-Pacific
components business. “I am delighted to welcome

To help the local engineering

Arrow has co-organized a webinar from June 9-11, 2020 in conjunction with Hong
Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) and The Chinese
University of Hong Kong (CUHK), to discuss opportunities and challenges associated
with the convergency of 5G, AI, IoT technologies (Link).
“HKSTP works with many
partners to enable the I&T ecosystem.
We thank Arrow, being one of the incredible partners, for its long-term
support for accelerating the innovative journey of technology companies and
universities in Hong Kong with us. The Arrow Open Lab has a track record of
helping high-growth companies leverage the power of AIoT and 5G. Now, with free
consultations available, it is exciting to see Arrow’s expertise being
delivered to a wider audience, helping startups at Science Park and beyond to
expand the possibilities of innovation,” said Ir Peter Yeung, head of
Electronics/ICT Clusters & Smart City Platform of HKSTP.
Arrow’s engineers at Open Lab worked closely with CUHK’s Embedded AI and IoT
Lab team to launch the first healthcare monitoring proof-of-concept design incorporating Analog
Devices’ 3D time-of-flight technology. This demonstrates a successful commercial
application of AI and deep-learning technologies.
Arrow Open Lab has assisted hundreds of
technology companies and startups from the region in their idea-to-prototype-to-product
innovation journey. The free
