Marvell's areas of expertise include microprocessor architecture and digital signal processing, large-capacity storage, mobile and wireless, networking, and green technologies.

In the public lecture held on Tuesday, November 8, 2011, Marvell Technologies also delivered the lecture theme of "Delivering Technology for The Always-on Lifestyle". Marvell is quite focused on chip development, not on device production because it does not want to compete with clients as conveyed by Dr. Gani Yusuf - Vice President of Product Development, Communications and Consumer Business Group as a speaker at the public lecture. In addition, he also conveyed about future industry trends that might be a business opportunity for the nation's creative youth.

Prior to this public lecture, the Marvell team and the Electronics Research Group (KK Elektronika) – STEI ITB had discussed a possible collaboration. This collaboration could involve establishing a research center near ITB.
