The funding supports development of a new metrology analogue front-end (AFE) platform that delivers high-accuracy energy measurement and metrology calculations for smart power metering applications. Designed for use in residential, commercial, and industrial energy metering, the core IP supports applications such as EV charging, data centre DC metrology, energy storage, and grid monitoring. More broadly, it addresses growing demand for grid modernisation, energy management, and decarbonisation technologies.

The investment reinforces Cirrus Logic's long-standing commitment to Scotland, where the company has built its largest engineering operations outside of the United States.

"Our Scottish engineering talent and operations have been an integral part of Cirrus Logic's success for many years," said Neil Rankin, Vice President, Engineering at Cirrus Logic. “The project supports continued investment in engineering talent, research capabilities, and infrastructure in Edinburgh while strengthening Scotland's position as a centre for semiconductor innovation.”

Eddie Sinnott, Vice President of the Industrial and Automotive Business Units at Cirrus Logic, said, "This investment will help Cirrus Logic expand collaboration between industry, academia, and the public sector to advance engineering work. It also helps us build expertise in the globally critical areas of electrification and energy management and create opportunities for the next generation of engineers and innovators."

As part of the project, Cirrus Logic has also expanded its collaboration with the University of Strathclyde’s Institute for Energy and Environment on research contributing to the optimal management of energy by utility and infrastructure providers.

“The transition to smarter, more flexible energy systems depends on advances in the technologies that measure, manage, and optimise electricity use,” said Graeme Burt, Distinguished Professor of Electrical Power Systems and Director of the Institute for Energy and Environment, University of Strathclyde. “Collaborations like this bring together academic insight and industrial expertise in a way that can accelerate innovation and support the development of practical solutions fit for the evolving needs of modern energy systems.”

Scotland at the Core of a Global Technology Strategy

For more than 40 years, Cirrus Logic, and its predecessor, Wolfson Microelectronics, have invested in the region, growing its Edinburgh operation into a major engineering hub where teams contribute across the full product development lifecycle, from architecture and design through testing and product delivery.

As part of the initiative, responsibility for elements of intellectual property development and advanced feature design will continue to expand within the Edinburgh team, supported by investments in engineering infrastructure and talent.

The project aligns closely with Scottish Enterprise ambitions to support high growth future industries and scale the impact of Scotland’s innovation strengths.

"Cirrus Logic has been an important part of Scotland's technology landscape for many years, and this latest investment shows how Scottish R&D can help deliver the smart energy systems needed for a net zero future,” said Reuben Aitken, Managing Director, Energy Transition and international, Scottish Enterprise. "We look forward to continuing our work with Cirrus Logic as it strengthens its presence in Edinburgh with Scottish engineering driving the next generation of smart energy innovation."

Investing in Scotland's Future Workforce

Cirrus Logic’s investment in Scotland extends beyond technology development. Through its University Engagement programme, the company works closely with universities across Scotland and the U.K., including the University of Strathclyde, the University of Glasgow, the University of Edinburgh, and Heriot-Watt University.

At the University of Strathclyde, Cirrus Logic supports engineering scholarships designed to encourage and develop future technology leaders. Cirrus Logic also recently announced a joint internship program with the University of Glasgow and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. The company also offers a range of internships, graduate opportunities and mentoring programs, and collaborative research projects that help strengthen Scotland's engineering talent pipeline.

The project is scheduled to run through 2028 and represents the latest chapter in Cirrus Logic's continued investment in Scotland's technology sector, talent pipeline, and innovation ecosystem.

ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), the AI control tower for business reinvention, today announced that Experian, the global data and technology company, and strategic partner, is significantly expanding its deployment of the ServiceNow AI Platform to drive enterprise-wide AI-led transformation.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260723557299/en/

As a long-standing ServiceNow customer, Experian is leveraging agentic AI workflows to automate intelligence at scale, improve operational efficiency and deliver AI-first experiences. This will help Experian’s clients make decisions faster and move AI beyond isolated pilots to enterprise-wide programmes that drive durable business change and impact.

In addition, by connecting HR, IT, Asset and Risk within ServiceNow's single system of action, Experian is enhancing employee experiences, strengthening third-party risk governance, and driving greater enterprise-wide visibility through connected workflows.

The ServiceNow AI Platform moves beyond point solutions toward end-to-end operational intelligence for businesses. Autonomous workflows learn continuously from operational data, getting smarter with every interaction. Every decision, whether made by a human or an AI agent, is informed, governed and auditable; this gives clients the confidence to accelerate AI adoption without compromising compliance or control.

The expanded deployment is part of a broader partnership between Experian and ServiceNow to help global clients operationalise AI at scale. Through the native integration of the Experian Ascend Platform and the ServiceNow AI Platform, businesses can access Experian's trusted intelligence, insights and decisioning capabilities directly within ServiceNow workflows. This then enables autonomous AI agents to act faster and more consistently, starting with employee onboarding, third-party risk management, and model lifecycle governance.

"Enterprises talk about AI transformation, but few execute it at scale," said Damian Stirrett, GVP and GM for UK and Ireland at ServiceNow. “Experian is different, more than adopting AI tools, they are redefining how a world-class global business operates at scale. As both a customer and strategic partner, Experian is connecting intelligence to action, with the ServiceNow AI Platform, and embedding intelligence directly into high-stakes decisions, from employee verification to third-party operational risk. Together we’re delivering the kind of measurable impact that reshapes industries.”

"As businesses look to scale AI, success will be defined not by the sophistication of the AI models alone, but by the strength of the trust in the infrastructure behind them,” said Keith Little, President - Experian Software Solutions at Experian. “The collaboration and partnership with ServiceNow are key for us as we support their customers, bringing together trusted intelligence and insights with the governance needed to embed AI into everyday workflows.”
