It has been one year into the pandemic, and we continue to push forward with innovation and navigate in the new normal.

We will also unveil new products leading in performance and enrich people’s user experience.
Arm CEO Simon Segars’ keynote titled “Sparking the World’s Post-Pandemic Recovery” demonstrated how technology can be a remarkable force for good that will be critical to the world’s recovery and create a more sustainable and secure future. The combination of computing in the age of AI will accelerate how we tackle complex challenges surrounding climate change, security, and equitable access to technologies and connectivity.
