Report: Arm Ecosystem Predictions & Perspectives 2021
“This report can’t tell you exactly what the world will look like in a year’s time,” says Rene Haas, President, IP Products Group (IPG) at Arm, “but it does reinforce my confidence that the Arm ecosystem will emerge from the current uncertainty far stronger and more resilient.”
He’s talking about Ecosystem Predictions and Perspectives 2021, a new report from Arm combining the views of over 900 individuals from our partner ecosystem with insight from Arm senior executives.
It’s a report into the year that no one expected, and the priorities and future expectations of those using Arm technology—from indie developers to CEOs of multinational chipmakers—in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
