All-Optical Processors. That is our mission. Nothing is faster than light and that is why we are creating an all-optical general-purpose processor. No electrons, no tricks, just photonics.

ZeroPoint Technologies – Remove the Waste. Release the Power. Digitalization quickly accelerates energy consumption. In 2030, the ICT (Information and Communications Technology) sector is projected to stand for more than one-fifth of the global electricity demand. Maximizing performance per watt in servers and smart devices is critical to breaking the trend. ZeroPoint technology delivers up to 50% more performance per watt by removing unnecessary information from microchips in data centers (CPU) and smart devices (SoC), meaning that: • Data centers can maximize performance and reduce energy consumption. • Smart device developers can maximize performance and user experience without compromising on battery life. Typical memory contains up to 70% unnecessary information. ZeroPoint technology removes all this information by combining ultra-fast data compression with realtime data compaction and transparent memory management. Integrating these three areas into one solution for maximizing performance per watt makes us unique. ZeroPoint is the result of decades of frontline research and in-depth technical knowledge. We have a strong patent portfolio and a pipeline of ideas related to our core business. ZeroPoint delivers a hardware IP block that customers integrate on their SoC. We work closely with industry-leading companies in product implementation projects targeting the most advanced technology nodes available. The Technology, ideas and many of the people behind and with ZeroPoint comes from Professor Per Stenström’s research group, which is internationally recognized for excellence within high-performance computing. Since its creation, ZeroPoint has attracted skilled people from industry, finance and the startup community and raised its first round of Venture Capital in 2016.

Firecell develops, packages and distributes Private 4G / 5G Networks as simple and affordable as WiFi. Firecell’s end-to-end solutions comprise hardware and software and can be deployed on-premise, in the cloud, or at the edge. Firecell’s software base layer is both O-RAN and Open Source. Firecells mission is to democratize 5G private networks by providing affordable open-source solutions tailored to the needs of enterprises. Firecell was founded in May 2021 by 4 entrepreneurs with over 20 years of experience in the telecom industry.

Roseman Labs allows you to safely link different data sets together, by encrypting data at the source. Run your analyses on combined data, without being able to see individual records. You get the insights you need, while individual records and privacy stays protected.

Industrial companies typically have hundreds or thousands of valuable assets such as containers, trailers, boxes, equipment, or dollies. Often, you have very little data on these non-powered assets: where they are, how they are used, or even how they can be utilized better. That’s where Sensolus comes in. Connecting these assets to the internet enables you to know where specific assets are, detect issues in your processes and ensure full visibility when working with contractors or customers. You access the collected data on our powerful analytical platform, which is ready to use from day 1. The battery-powered trackers are easy to install and will work anywhere for five years. They dont require any infrastructure and you can easily scale from small proof of value to a full-sized project. Would you like to follow in the footsteps of Distrilog, Airbus, Suez, and Huurland?

Creative Destruction Lab (CDL) is a nonprofit organization that delivers an objectives-based program for massively scalable, seed-stage, science- and technology-based companies. The nine-month program employs an objectives-based mentoring process to enhance the performance of technical founders who learn from the insights of experienced entrepreneurs, with the goal of maximizing equity-value creation. Founded by Professor Ajay Agrawal in 2012 at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management, the program has expanded and now has 11 sites across six countries: Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Halifax, Paris, Madison, Seattle, Estonia, Berlin, and Melbourne. The program combines 5 elements to help companies transition from science projects to scalable and financeable companies: - An emphasis on objective-setting, helping companies focus on what’s most important to their business - Focused mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs who have founded, led, and sold significant tech companies - Technical advice from world-leading scientists, engineers, and economists - Hands-on support from top business students, who embed within the company to provide business support - Opportunities to raise capital, including angels and VCs from Europe and North America The successful commercialization of cutting-edge science and technology achieved through the program has led to the creation of over CAD $35 billion in equity value.
