Joe Beyers To Speak At NAU
Flagstaff, Ariz. January 5th, 2010 - The Northern Arizona Center for Emerging Technologies and the W. A. Franke College of Business is proud to announce its first Executive Speaker Series. Mr. Joe Beyers is currently the President/CEO of Ambature. Previously, Mr. Beyers was the Vice President of Intellectual Property Licensing at the Hewlett-Packard Company. In this role, Mr. Beyers was responsible for creating and driving an HP intellectual property strategy and for driving initiatives to increase the value realized by HP from its IP portfolio. Joe’s worldwide team was responsible for patent licensing, technology licensing, brand licensing, standards-based licensing and patent sales and acquisitions for HP.
As the Director of the Integrated Circuit Design Technology Center, Mr. Beyers was responsible for a wide range of integrated-circuit design and CAD tools programs and businesses. As part of this work, he was the lead inventor of the world's first 32-bit VLSI computer chip. This chip contained 450,000 transistors and was several times more complex than any VLSI chip at the time. In recognition of this achievement, he received The Best Paper award at the International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSC) in 1982. He then initiated HP's first Reduced Instruction Set architecture (RISC) VLSI chip design, which today forms the basis of HP's PA-RISC microprocessors. Where: W.A.
