Flow Computing enables the next generation of CPU performance for the most demanding applications, such as locally-hosted AI and general-purpose parallel computing. We in Flow believe there has been only incremental improvements in CPU performance during recent decades. In our opinion, it has led to a situation where the CPU has actually become the weakest link in computing due to its suboptimal sequential architecture. A new era in CPU performance has become a necessity in order to meet the continuously-increasing demand for more computing performance (driven to large extent by needs in AI, edge and cloud computing). Flow intends to enable this revolution through its Parallel Performance Unit (PPU), giving up to 100X the performance of any CPU, regardless of architecture. Our technology has full backwards software compatibility and it gives 2x performance improvement to most legacy applications after recompilation. Capable of being integrated into any current or pending design architecture or process geometry, our licensable Parallel Processing Unit (PPU) turbocharges the current CPUs to enabling “CPU 2.0”-levels of throughput and eliminating the need for expensive GPU acceleration of CPU instructions.

Geyser Batteries is a Finnish cleantech startup developing and producing a new generation of safe and sustainable power batteries using proprietary water-based electrochemistry. Their patented technology is set to be a game changer in the transition to 100% renewables-based power grid by providing fast-storage batteries with a minimal cost per charge, lowest in class greenhouse gas emissions, maximum safety and ease of recycling. Being free of Nickel, Cobalt and other traditional electrode materials, Geyser Batteries supply chain presents stark contrast to the challenges of the traditional battery industry.

Hypermemo provides unique laser-based solutions for glass processing. Our solutions enable sustainable transformation of the very traditional energy-intensive industry.

SpinDrive provides design, prototyping and serial production of active magnetic bearings (AMBs) for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). SpinDrive reduces energy losses in the machine by half. For a 500-kW unit, this solution mitigates 200 tons of CO2 emissions annually, which is equivalent to 2,000 barrels of oil burnt and enables 2-year payback time. An active magnetic bearing levitates the rotational part of the machine, eliminating mechanical friction. It enables 20 years of maintenance-free operations. SpinDrive solution is completely oil-free, which allows OEM customers to enter rapidly growing markets and ensure alignment with a contaminant-free environmental strategy. We help customers to significantly increase their solutions’ system efficiency, reduce material consumption and minimize maintenance costs. SpinDrive lowers the customer’s equipment lifecycle costs by 35%.

In many fields of surgery and dentistry, bone has to be cut or removed without damaging the proximal soft structures. Surgify develops new solutions to protect these structures and prevent associated complications. Bleeding, infections and nerve injuries are some of the complications that can severely affect a patients quality of life. Surgify technology improves the safety, speed and precision of bone surgery to minimize these risks.
