Astrape Networks unleashes data flow and zero bottlenecks in data centres while offering maximum power efficiency thanks to a unique network switch capable of handling all types of traffic, combining EPS (Electronic Packet Switching) with OCS (Optical Circuit Switching).
Farada IC
FaradaIC developed the world’s first electrochemical gas sensors on a micro-chip designed for high-volume applications across logistics, automotive, industrial IoT, medical devices and consumer electronics.
2D Photonics
2D Photonics revolutionises integrated photonics with 2D materials that meet the growing demand for data traffic with a scalable, high-performance architecture that delivers simplified design and energy-efficient transceiver solutions.
Calvin Risk
Calvin Risk offers a modular AI governance platform that provides enterprises transparency into their AI portfolios, for both predictive and generative models. Built on methodology developed at ETH Zürich, the platform enables companies to effectively govern, asses and manage the ethical, technical and regulatory risks of AI algorithms in commercial use.
Quantum Optics Jena
Based on Nobel Prize-winning research, Quantum Optics Jena developed the first commercial entanglement-based Quantum Key Distribution system, to secure data transmission in the quantum age. The team addresses the vulnerabilities of traditional encryption technologies by leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics.
Semron
Semron is leading the edge computing revolution with its 3D-scaled AI chips, bringing real-time intelligence to consumer devices. Their innovative stacking architecture combines high performance with low power consumption, enabling natural language processing on-device without relying on cloud servers.
Generative Engineering
Generative Engineering’s new foundation model is rooted in physics, cutting through the complexity of traditional design processes by generating automated design models based on evolving project requirements. It helps engineers design complex products more efficiently, reducing both time and cost.
Newtwen
NewTwen leverages AI-powered digital twin technology to simulate, monitor, and optimize electric drives in real-time, reducing operational costs and improving predictive maintenance capabilities.
