STMicroelectronics is expanding its focus on artificial intelligence and advanced semiconductor development. The company projects that revenue from AI data centers will exceed $1 billion this year and reach over $2 billion by 2027, driven largely by connectivity products such as silicon photonics and microcontrollers.

To support its technological evolution, the company is establishing a new research and development center in Lombardy, Italy, dedicated to Digital Twin technology. This center will utilize physics-based modeling, simulations, and AI to create digital representations of manufacturing processes and semiconductor designs. The initiative aims to accelerate time-to-market and reduce costs by shifting much of the development process from physical experimentation to digital preview.
