i2i Unveils Canadian Demo Day Participant List and Latest Tech Applications

i2i, in collaboration with the Canadian Technology Accelerator (CTA), is gearing up for the 2024 IP2 Launchpad's second Demo Day in early May.

Six promising Canadian startups have been selected from a pool of 35, spanning industries such as AIoT, HealthTech, and semiconductors.

The selected startups include CentML Inc, Applied Brain Research, CEMWorks, Zinite, Power HV, and Green Edge Computing Corp.

IP2 Launchpad Demo Day, jointly organized by i2i and the Canadian Technology Accelerator (CTA), leverages innovative approaches to precise matchmaking through collaboration with international innovation partners. It aims to attract international startups to establish a presence in Taiwan and engage in collaborative exchanges with Taiwanese enterprises.

CentML

CentML Inc is an AI application technology company aiming to develop more efficient, fair, and cost-effective AI solutions. They primarily achieve this by developing software to train and run AI models, enabling high-speed operation on clients' hardware, even deploying AI models on inexpensive, low-performance GPUs without sacrificing performance.

Applied Brain Research

Applied Brain Research (ABR) is an AI application software development company dedicated to integrating artificial intelligence with IoT devices. Through their patented neural networks, they provide optimal performance for time-series applications (such as language processing and sensor anomaly detection) and facilitate easy deployment using their developed training platform, "NengoEdge," enabling AI to run on devices.

CEMWorks

CEMWorks is an electronic computing company offering cutting-edge simulation tools for designing advanced hardware technologies. They provide powerful electromagnetic (EM) simulation solutions, tackling complex design problems in semiconductors, antennas, and metamaterials.

Zinite

Zinite focuses on developing advanced semiconductor technology and 3D structures for future chips, with their core technology being thin-film transistors. These transistors possess CMOS-level drive currents and a wide temperature processing window, including stable material processing at 400°C.

Power HV

Power HV primarily produces detection sensors and software for electrical insulation equipment, applied in monitoring devices such as transformers, transformer bushings, cables, and high-voltage panels.

Green Edge Computing Corp

Green Edge Computing Corp (GECCO) develops revolutionary computing devices, providing advanced data processing for various AI/ML, AR/VR, digital twins, and IoT applications. These applications often cannot accommodate traditional IT equipment racks. GECCO's products significantly reduce materials and space by up to 90%, reduce power consumption by 75%, decrease greenhouse gas emissions by 80%, and reduce total costs by 50% compared to past technologies.

Looking ahead, in June of this year, i2i will build upon the achievements of the previous two review meetings, planning to host an international startup conference in Toronto, Canada, to explore market dynamics and the startup ecosystem.

Additionally, in October of the same year, a third Demo Day will be jointly organized with CTA to continue driving the IP2 Launchpad program.
