100 million people to benefit from AMD and AMD Foundation philanthropy and partnerships that enable STEM education, scientific research and the workforce of the future from AMD donations initiated by 2025 (base year 2020)
AMD Hosts Irish Technovation Finals
In Dublin, Ireland, AMD hosted a day of fun, learning and inspiration for more than 100 students in the Technovation Challenge, a global program that empowers girls to solve real-world problems using technology. The event showcased mobile apps addressing issues like health, education, environment and social justice.
AMD collaborated with the Soham Academy in 2024 to deliver hands-on robotics training to more than 12,000 students in India. Through workshops, innovation challenges and hackathons, students gained practical skills in circuit design, programming and real-world problem solving.
The HACC at the University of Illinois supports research and education in heterogeneous computing by combining CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs. Through collaboration with AMD, researchers gain critical resources, feedback and direct access to industry engineers, helping to solve real-world problems and make hardware more accessible for all.
We bring our commitment to advancing scientific research to life through the AMD University Program, which empowers academics with AMD technologies and educational resources to support research labs and classroom teaching. Focused on AI, our efforts include the AMD AI and HPC Cluster and the collaborative AMD Heterogeneous Accelerated Compute Clusters (HACCs) program.
We are passionate about enabling the imagination and creativity of the next generation. By placing technology in their hands, we encourage exploration and learning that opens doors to new careers and possibilities.
We work with schools, educators and local non-profit organizations to outfit AMD Learning Labs with AMD processor-based equipment, helping inspire students to pursue STEM education and empower their teachers.
AMD-sponsored labs are installed in Dublin, Markham, Shanghai, Singapore, Penang, Austin, San Jose, Longmont and Fort Collins.
Robotics is a popular topic in STEM education. It provides an opportunity for students to prepare for the jobs of the future in a practical and engaging way.
AMD has sponsored several teams in FIRST Robotics Competitions over the years. Each team uses the RoboRIO controller, powered by an AMD Zynq™ adaptive SoC, to build their robots.
While we focus on harnessing the opportunities technology can bring, we also recognize its potential risks and the need to create guardrails that balance innovation with responsibility. AMD is committed to the responsible and ethical development of innovative technology.
With the immense opportunity of AI comes the challenge of keeping technology focused on positive outcomes and helping solve some of humanity’s complex problems. AMD is committed to working with the industry to innovate and deploy AI in a responsible manner.
Achieving real progress takes bringing groundbreaking innovation and human ingenuity together to create something exceptional. From aerospace and automotive, through energy and climate, to health care and beyond, our strategic partnerships advance almost every facet of the world we live in. Together, we turn the hardest problems into the greatest possibilities.
We recognize that meaningful improvement in corporate responsibility requires collaboration on a global scale, which can be transformative when done well. We actively engage in industry dialogues through forums such as the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI), the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) and the Semiconductor Climate Consortium (sponsored by SEMI).
