Dremio is the intelligent lakehouse platform trusted by thousands of global enterprises, including Shell, TD Bank, Michelin, and Farmer’s Insurance. AI and analytics initiatives face significant delays due to the time-intensive process of dataset creation. Data engineering teams are overburdened, disconnected data sources require complex ETL processes, and prolonged iteration cycles with business stakeholders slow progress. Dremio eliminates these bottlenecks by unifying data sources without ETL, simplifying the creation of high-quality, governed datasets, and delivering autonomous performance optimization to accelerate AI. From the original co-creators of Apache Polaris and Apache Arrow, Dremio is the only lakehouse built natively on Apache Iceberg, Polaris, and Arrow - providing flexibility, preventing lock-in, and enabling community-driven innovation.

At Third Wave Automation, weve created the Shared Autonomy Platform; a system that integrates machine learning with shared autonomy. This enables autonomous reach trucks to operate with remote oversight, allowing human operators to intervene only when necessary. With continuous improvement at the helm, this technology is designed to enhance efficiency and safety in warehouse automation (keeping operators out of harms way), providing intelligent fleet management (ArmadaFMS) and better overall performance. The TWA Reach, our fully autonomous reach truck, can be deployed onsite within a matter of weeks and not months, thanks to flexibility within environments and no additional infrastructure requirements.

oneNav provides the pureL5 GNSS receiver for smartphones, wearables and trackers. The oneNav team comprises 45 GNSS experts from Qualcomm, Apple, Intel, SnapTrack, SiRF, Trimble and eRide. oneNav team members invented GPS for cell phones for the first time in 2001. oneNav is headquartered in Palo Alto, California. oneNav’s embedded receiver utilizes the modernized L5 signaling band from the GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS and GLONASS GNSS constellations. oneNav’s system is unique in that it both acquires and tracks on a single frequency which is unified worldwide. oneNavs simplified design completely eliminates the L1 RF chain and antenna subsystem which current L5 solutions use. oneNav’s pureL5 GNSS uses AI/Machine Learning to remove multipath errors in urban canyons. oneNav expects to deliver 3m accuracy in urban canyons, where today’s ride share, navigation and tracking applications suffer from poor accuracy.
