Lucidean is a startup specializing in next-generation optical link solutions for data center networks.

Thintronics Inc. is reinventing interconnect insulator technologies to unlock next- generation computing, networking and wireless performance. The companys novel materials enable wider bandwidths, increased power efficiency, and highly integrated form factors for advanced computing and communication systems.

UNISERS builds and sells machines applying a novel technology to find and identify critical contaminations all along the semiconductor manufacturing chain. We help to reduce the enormous amount of contaminated and hence actually unusable and wasted newly produced microchips.

Tignis (a Cohu Analytics Solution) offers production-proven machine learning models that enable semiconductor manufacturers, OEMs and operators to continually improve physical fab assets and processes. Insights are provided in real-time so changes can be made even while systems are in use (run-to-run control) Our solutions enable you to quickly identify your most critical manufacturing issues, predict future problems before they occur and optimize performance. Our customers do not need to build and maintain machine learning models or staff specialized software teams. We offer Tignis as a service in the cloud or as an on-premise edge computing solution so customers can easily use machine learning and AI to identify anomalies and patterns and then take action to improve quality and throughput. Tignis is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cohu, Inc! (acquired in January 2025) Cohu (NASDAQ: COHU) was founded in 1947 and is a global technology leader supplying test, automation, inspection & metrology products and services to the semiconductor industry. The company is headquartered in Poway, CA. To learn more visit https://www.linkedin.com/company/cohu/ or https://www.cohu.com

Biolinq has created a new Biowearable experience by using an array of electrochemical sensors so small you can barely feel them. Our metabolic health sensors work together to provide maximum reliability for continuous sensing applications. With the potential of multiple analytes such as glucose, ketones, and lactate, we provide an entirely new user experience with actionable metabolic health insights. Over the next 10 years we intend to bring Biosensing and Biowearables mainstream. We are dedicated to the personal and professional growth of all our team members and strive to create a positive and creative work environment.

SEEQC is developing the first digital quantum computing platform for global businesses. SEEQC combines classical and quantum technologies to address the efficiency, stability and cost issues endemic to quantum computing systems. The company applies classical and quantum technology through digital readout and control technology and through a unique chip-scale architecture. SEEQC’s quantum system provides the energy and cost-efficiency, speed and digital control required to make quantum computing useful and scalable. The company is one of the first companies to have built a superconductor multi-layer commercial chip foundry and through this experience has the infrastructure in place for design, testing and manufacturing of quantum-ready superconductors. SEEQC is a spin-out of Hypres, the world’s leading developer of superconductor electronics. SEEQC’s team of executives and scientists have deep expertise and experience in commercial superconductive computing solutions and quantum computing. SEEQC is based in Elmsford, NY.

Metalenz, founded in 2016 is the first company to commercialize meta-optics. The company is backed by leading investors including 3M, Applied Ventures LLC, Intel Capital, M Ventures and TDK Ventures. The company has the exclusive worldwide license to the portfolio of foundational intellectual property relating to metasurfaces developed in the Capasso Lab at Harvard University and has more than 20 patents on innovations that simplify and improve optical devices across multiple markets
