Micron’s memory and storage solutions are at the core of countless digital devices. We’re constantly innovating to make them faster and more efficient.
During my career I’ve seen memory technologies move from lab projects to consumer staples that changed how we interact with the world, creating more opportunities to connect across vast distances. The next decade will be filled with technologies that bring more clarity to the world immediately around us — better understanding for how traffic moves through our cities, better environmental information and better health knowledge.

Micron CEO
In 2018, Micron held our inaugural Insight event, where the technology industry’s top minds gathered to discuss the future technology landscape and how memory and storage technologies bring it to life. At the event, Micron Ventures announced it will invest up to $100 million in venture funding targeted at technology startups focused on artificial intelligence (AI), with 20% aimed at startups led by women and other underrepresented groups. Launched in 2006, Micron Ventures invests in technology startups aligned with Micron’s strategic interests.
As a global leader in memory and storage technology, Micron’s solutions play a vital role in some of today’s most significant advances, including artificial intelligence, industrial automation, the IoT (Internet of Things), autonomous vehicles and cloud computing. And as innovations like these enter the mainstream and demands for memory and storage increase, the need to analyze, access and act on data has only grown.
Memory and storage were once standardized hardware components. Now, diverse demands have led to a corresponding specialization of solutions, requiring not just more memory, but new types of intelligent memory and storage architectures. This creates opportunities for us to work with customers to better understand their needs.
Memory and storage components affect the sustainability of a variety of end products, from computer energy use to vehicle safety. This is why we strive to consistently improve performance, investing in research to deliver higher capacity, greater user privacy and data protection, faster data transfer rates, lower power consumption, increased energy and material efficiency, and improved reliability. Through supplier engagement, technology development and legal compliance, we evaluate new materials to ensure the safety of our employees and to ensure hazardous materials in our products.
