 Hello everyone, my name is Loris Valenti and the vice president for the microcontroller and digital product groups in the Americas region I welcome you to this afternoon session and I hope You also have enjoyed our morning session. We have presented our offering in the sensors and This is an impressive offering all these sensors are able to capture data a little bit everywhere in the Environment surrounding us then we will have the problem to manage and control all this data So this is why we are here talking about embedded and connectivity technologies So let's see where you can find our products basically ST with its embedded Processor with our microcontroller family of products is present everywhere. There is a need of a performance connectivity or a security Here we have some example of the application that we are addressing today and as you know our world is changing very rapidly never like Today our life has seen a dramatic change and ST wants to be part of this change I still wants to be able to simplify our life. Thanks to our products Okay, so let's see So looks like most of you is coming from the is attending from the West Coast even if we have a Good participation a little bit everywhere and thanks to our colleagues in Europe. It's very late for you. Thank you very much for participating so Our world is changing very very Rapidly and the complexity of our world is increasing so we can measure the complexity by this simply by looking at the Amount of functions the object that we use today are performing So this is also reflected as you see in this chart But in the in the trend for the embedded processing market trends So you see that the forecast is showing that in the next three years this market will grow eight percent actually the microcontroller will grow a little bit lower than six percent and Puse will grow about thirteen percent This is a clearing the clay indication of the needs to have a more computing power more processing capabilities at the base of these needs there is a application like 5g with the IOT per vision. There is a new application enabled by security and of course artificial intelligence on the edge How is ST? Play playing in this field, of course, this is a very important field for ST So we have we have grown Incredibly in the last 12 years we moved from position number 11 to position number two Worldwide with our microcontroller family of products and all this has been done organically So with no acquisition our at the end 32 family of product is made of more than 1,600 part numbers we have today a customer base which is above 60,000 customers worldwide and we ship more for them for billion units We have recently last year actually Enter the empty arena with our STM 32 and P1. We are addressing the needs of a higher performances of Linux operating systems So when we talk about at the end 32 basically we talk as I said about a wide very wide family of products ranging from value line single core no power devices to very high performance devices with Multiple memory interfaces and different memory sizes There is a common denominator in our family of product, which is that we want to address More security more intelligence and more connectivity and you will see in the in the presentation today how we are doing this we also Provide with our products also complete solution addressing what we call verticals applications like graphics connectivity security wireless motor control digital power and audio these are The initial start for our support to Full system solution, but of course we are growing this continuously Now in this context We started last year an expansion a dramatic expansion of our family of product addressing The key areas I was mentioning so when we talk about the more performances We basically introduce the MP1 family of product our first NPU And also the H7 as the answer to H7 is a dual core or microcontroller with embedded flash That can provide a significant performances. We have then entered in the wireless connectivity Area, this is done with the WB product over that support the Bluetooth connectivity It is a single core single die dual core with embedded radio And then we also started addressing the need for security with our L5 family of product that is Certified with the most stringent standards Now this was last year this year we further expanded the family of products So for the MP1 we increased performances for the wireless connectivity We introduced the WL, which is a single die product for the Laura connectivity And then we also introduced Security software packages. We announced our ecosystem to support better support artificial intelligent development and also graphic development So in our wide ecosystem we also offer hardware solutions. So we we have Bored available already available that can Support you in the evaluation of the products in the development of your application and even the prototyping All this is supported by the by a wide network of field application engineers And also distributors and partners We also have an extensive offering in terms of training material on our website and more than ever We are announcing this with the videos and with presentation that will help you Get started on our problems. So here we have another poll So we would like to hear from you. It's very important for us to understand. What is the key elements when you? have to choose your next generation of MC and see you and then pews so This would be very useful for us to to understand how to better address your needs so We were talking about connectivity so connectivity is a big part of our offering and So in the Bluetooth area, as I said, we have the WB product that is supporting multiple protocols including Tredex and the ZigBee and then we have the Laura offering with the WL So In terms of Bluetooth, we support the traditional application where you have a host connected to multiple devices Or we can support mesh Networks where multiple devices are connected together. This is typical in automation or Smart home We have also Support for sorry We also have support for Applications that have a need for a longer distance in this case We have the Laura for lower bandwidth Laura is addressing application in the industrial field agriculture lightning smart metering or we can also support Higher bandwidth with the LTE cut them and be IOT and 5g certified solutions so We don't have to forget that in our What is connectivity offerings? We also have the ST 25 family of product. This is a very interesting family of product addressing NFC and More recently we have certified this family for Automotive so that you can develop applications like doors lock and lock or console pairing Okay, so let's see the results of the polls so looks like the why majority of you is Looking at the ecosystem when choosing The next generation of MCU and pu this is not coming as a surprise and in fact You will see in our presentation our ecosystem offering is very wide and It's basically a comprehensive system that will enable you to address all the needs within the same tools Now it's time to to repel for me and then leave the world to my colleagues And so we have seen that all the sensors that that we have all the need to capture data from our surrounding world requires Management of this data and We need to connect this data. So this is why with our microcontroller family We want to offer you more computing power. This is done through our NPU or do I core microcontroller? We want to offer you more intelligence. Thanks to our QBI solution that will enable you to develop artificial intelligent products more connectivity wireless connectivity with WB supporting Bluetooth WL supporting Laura or more performing solution with the LD and and be a you and be a your T or Cut them a solution. We also have more security with our L5 family of product And all these as I was mentioning is supported by the common ecosystem So you don't have to to worry about moving from one family of product to the other the ecosystem And the tools are all the same We also have a broader support Wide support thanks to our field application engineers and and partner So I will leave you now to the afternoon session with more detailed presentation from my colleagues talking about the main areas of our focus artificial intelligence on the ad on the edge developing GUIs with our products and micros having a secure connection and exploring more wireless connectivity and in both in the area of Sub-geekers 2.4 gigahertz and also NFC. So I would hand over to Boona for The continuation of the day and thank you very much for joining Great. Thank you, Laura's. Thanks for the great overview and it's clear that ST have been investing and is investing in the Right products and technology for the growing market trends and that will segment us into the next First session for the afternoon, which is bringing AI to the edge. But before that while Marcus gets ready I want to Mention this is the the virtual page that I talked about earlier Here you can see the the address here is st.com slash July 14 virtual There is a QR code here for a quick scan to get to the page On this page you will find the presentation that will be used today as well as the product information page and also the bottom will be some for the demos itself and So you'll you'll have this will have this post throughout the the presentation so with that I'm going to pass
