Offering to the First 40 People

 

December, 2002

We are pleased to invite you to the Alba Centre Luncheon to introduce the Scottish initiative, the Alba Centre, aimed at driving the future of electronic design.

 

The Alba Centre is a unique collaboration involving government, industry and academia in Scotland, focusing on the development of complex electronic design, particularly System on Chip and System Level Integration. This initiative includes the Virtual Component Exchange (VCX), the Institute for System Level Integration (ISLI) and the development of the Alba Campus to enhance its ideal R&D environment. The Alba Campus is still developing rapidly as the new Alba Centre building on the Campus was officially opened in March 2002. Since the inception of the Alba Centre, the industry in Scotland has doubled, helped by investments from companies such as Cadence Design Systems, Motorola, and Epson, as well as indigenous growth from companies such as IndigoVision and Nallatech.

 

Within the framework of this luncheon, Iain MacFadyen from ISLI and Tony Kirkham, a research engineer at ISLI will give presentations on the current activities in the Alba Centre and Scotland. Also, this program includes time to interact with the speakers and representatives from the Scottish Development International. A buffet will be served before the presentations.
