On 14 May, 2026 - NeuroSYNC Submits Written Evidence to UK Parliamentary Inquiry on Low-Energy Computing

The UK Multidisciplinary Centre for Neuromorphic Systems and Computing (NeuroSYNC) has submitted written evidence to the UK Parliament's Science, Innovation and Technology Committee as part of its inquiry into Low-Energy Computing (Reference: LEC0016).

The submission outlines how neuromorphic computing can help address the growing energy demands of artificial intelligence while strengthening the UK's leadership in next-generation computing technologies. Drawing on insights from NeuroSYNC's stakeholder survey and national roadmapping workshops, the evidence highlights both the UK's scientific strengths and the key challenges that must be addressed to accelerate real-world adoption.

The submission identifies three priorities for advancing the UK's neuromorphic computing ecosystem:

• Developing shared national testbed infrastructure for neuromorphic hardware.

• Investing in open software tools and benchmarking standards to support wider adoption.

• Supporting long-term, application-driven collaboration between academia, industry and government.

Submitted on behalf of NeuroSYNC at Aston University, the evidence will help inform the Committee's recommendations on the future of AI, advanced computing and energy-efficient digital infrastructure in the UK.
