Our brain performs around 1 exaFLOP (1 quintillion floating-point operations per second) on its low power budget of 20 watts. In contrast, a supercomputer needs a million times more power to perform the same function. How about we make chips that mimic the human brain? Energy-efficient machine intelligence, aka “𝗡𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴” Neuromorphic computing gets inspiration from neurons, which, instead of performing functions step by step, do multiple functions at a time and adapt over time. Potential advantages of neuromorphic computing are: − Adaptability − Energy efficiency − High performance − Parallel processing Within the technology industry, neuromorphic processors include Loihi from Intel Corporation, NeuronFlow from GrAI Matter Labs, and the TrueNorth and next-generation NorthPole neuromorphic chips from IBM. Read more about neuromorphic computing in a great Nature publication by Man Yao, Ole Richter et al. https://lnkd.in/e-J8SFjA Neuromorphic Computing is a key interest area for APEX Ventures and stay tuned for some exciting updates in this area soon! #Venturecapital #AI #Deeptech #Startups Follow us for strategies and resources for Deep Tech founders and VCs!

OroraTech, a global leader in wildfire intelligence, has raised a €25 million Series B! 🚀 Using predictive algorithms fueled by data from its thermal satellite network, OroraTech empowers companies, organizations, and fire agencies to respond proactively to the global wildfire crisis, minimizing damage and saving lives. Earlier this year OroraTech launched its second satellite into low Earth orbit on the SpaceX Flacon 9, and announced a €20M contract with Greece’s Ministry of Digital Governance to build a satellite-based early warning system for the country. The Series B was led by Korys, European Circular Bioeconomy Fund (ECBF), and Bayern Kapital, and will support the company in moving into global markets beyond Europe. Alongside all their investors, APEX Ventures is proud to back this talented team and support them on their journey to mitigate the increasing threat of wildfires worldwide. Congratulations to Martin Langer, Thomas Grübler, Viktor Gauk, Axel Roenneke, Florian Mauracher, Rupert Amann, Marina Pott, and the whole OroraTech team!

ATMOS Space Cargo Is Teaming Up With Altair to Develop Its Innovative PHOENIX Platform Nearly 2,000 strategic alliances are formed every year, but not all of them lead to an increase in your brand's success. Collaborations with the right partner help you expand your technology, have access to new technology, and develop new processes that not only improve your brand awareness but also add value to the existing users. Microsoft partners with OpenAI, Airbus partners with Avolon, and Avincis partners with Airbus— these are just a few examples of how big players partner with other companies to increase customer trust and add more value to their existing clients. ATMOS Space Cargo, one of our portfolio companies, recently partnered with Altair (leading provider of simulation technology) to utilize their latest tools like HyperMesh®, Optistruct®, and Simsolid® to develop PHOENIX, their innovative orbital microgravity and reentry platform. This collaboration, alongside others in the Deep Tech industry in Europe, will drive innovation and open doors to scalable solutions that are not just beneficial but also the need of the hour to tackle the most pressing challenges. We are excited to see how this collaboration will be used in the application and extend our heartfelt congratulations to Sebastian Klaus (CEO), Marta Oliveira (COO), Jeffrey Hendrikse (CTO), and all the team members of ATMOS Space Cargo for this remarkable achievement. #Venturecapital #AI #Deeptech #Startups Follow us for strategies and resources for Deep Tech founders and VCs!
