We’d like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy Lunar New Year of the Pig and share a few news updates with you before the holiday starts.
The VIA Taiwan and VIA China offices will be closed from February 3 – 8 for the holiday. Our VIA Fremont and VIA Europe operations will be operating normally. Indeed, our European team is busy gearing up for Embedded World 2019, which takes place from February 26 – February 28 at the Nuremberg Exhibition Center in Germany. To find out more about the latest Edge AI, IoT, and Computer Vision innovations that we will display at the show, please click here.
