About this report
Arm Holdings plc is a British-born semiconductor and software design company headquartered in Cambridge, England . Founded in 1990 from a joint venture of Acorn Computers, Apple and VLSI Technology , Arm is a leader in energy-efficient processor IP for mobile, IoT, and embedded systems.
Its cores power virtually all modern smartphones, tablets and many IoT devices , and its designs have increasingly critical dual-use applications (for example, in communications and vehicle control systems). As a UK-based technology firm, Arm occupies a strategic position for European defense planners: it is allied to Europe’s security through the UK and NATO, yet not a European Union (EU) company.
