Concluding Remarks
28
www.tttech.com
• CoMMiCS has been the most productive and intense
research time in my career
... and it was a lot of fun and excitement, too!
• RetNet is in many ways a perfect framework for
setting up a new research unit like the TTTech Labs.
• SAFEnet is currently submitted as MSCA EID.
• Scale TTTech technology and upcoming RetNet technology
along system sizes and system criticalities.

Continued support by European Funds enables
sustainable technology growth at TTTech.
Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions, in particular, have
proven to be a successful funding instrument.
