FMC is a leading semiconductor and memory chip company based in Dresden, founded in 2016 to develop a revolutionary memory chip technology. Based on the thin-film material hafnium oxide, the company has created a new class of memory cells with its DRAM+ chip – more sustainable, faster, and cost-efficient. Thanks to its extremely low power consumption, the technology significantly reduces the energy demand of AI data centers, laying the foundation for their scale-up in Europe and worldwide. FMC is now a fabless company, meaning it designs, develops, and markets its own products while outsourcing production to contract manufacturers (chip foundries). FMC is backed by investors including HV Capital, the DeepTech & Climate Fund (DTCF), Vsquared Ventures, eCAPITAL, Bosch Ventures, Air Liquide Venture Capital, M Ventures (Merck), Verve Ventures, Korean memory chip company SK hynix, semiconductor equipment manufacturer TEL, and other international investors. The company is led by CEO Thomas Rückes. For more information, visit ferroelectric-memory.com

TetraMem is developing cutting-edge analog computing solutions for AI applications, offering exceptional performance with ultra-low power consumption.

Generative AI has taken the world by a storm, creating a boom for GPUs, High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) and Compute Express Link (CXL) memory. At this pivotal moment, MemVerge has built a Big Memory Computing Platform that continuously right sizes computing and memory resources for AI workloads. The platform consists of software suites that optimize performance, cost and availability of applications running in the public cloud and hybrid cloud. For the public cloud, Memory Machine™ Cloud is a new cloud automation platform that intelligently manages workloads on public cloud. By dynamically adapting cloud resources to real-time application needs and enabling all applications to run reliably on spot instances, Memory Machine Cloud delivered an order-of-magnitude higher resource efficiency for users such as Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI), and Seekgene. The software also features real-time tracking of cloud resources and carbon footprint needed for the future of sustainable IT. The advent of CXL is a giant step towards removing the fundamental "memory wall" bottlenecking AI applications today. CXL technology gives AI apps desperately needed memory bandwidth and capacity while driving down costs with composable memory that can be shared. Partnering closely CXL leaders such as Samsung, SK hynix and Micron, award-winning MemVerge software for CXL enables applications to access pools of memory without modifying applications, while providing optimal performance and cost. MemVerge software for CXL also offers data services, such as an application checkpointing service, ensuring uninterrupted application availability, with full integration into Kubernetes.
