Since 2014 Ambisense has been driving innovation within the environmental space. Our technology platform optimizes the delivery of environmental risk assessment on some of the world’s largest infrastructure projects across industrial, O&G and waste verticals. Ambilytics encompasses both IoT and ML solutions, combining information from remotely deployed field devices with contextual data sources such as weather, satellite, geophysical and operational data to build machine learning models. These models identify the relationships, patterns, and drivers hidden within the data and allow our customers to forecast and predict the behaviour of targeted environmental pollutants.

AtriAN is commercializing technology created at Mayo Clinic in the US. AtriAN is an Irish Medical Device company based in Galway--A powerful and prolific hub for medical devices.AtriAN uses a gentle energy, micro Pulsed Electric Fields (mPEF) to only ablate hyperactivity. The other tissues such as the myocardium are spared.

Our team has dreamed of revolutionizing the audio industry since our humble beginning in Enschede, The Netherlands in 2014. Now that we have joined Monolithic Power Systems in early 2024, we can make that dream a reality. At MPS Axign, we want everyone to be able to experience the feelings that we know what a truly great sound experience can bring. We combine our wide range of expertise—digital signal processing, analog/mixed-signal/power design, control systems, embedded software, system-level design, and audio engineering—to invent and perfect innovative technologies, and deliver high-efficiency and high-fidelity audio amplifier system solutions to our customers…a passion we share with our new MPS family. We’re excited to see and hear what we will accomplish together.

Equal1 is accelerating the introduction of useful, cost-effective quantum computers within a three-year time horizon. The company has developed a disruptive, scalable and cost-effective quantum computing technology, based on a commercially available silicon semiconductor process. Our solution uses nanometer-scale quantum dots to form qubits on a standard silicon CMOS process. Along with silicon qubits, we have integrated all functions required for a quantum processing unit (QPU) – the brain of the quantum computer – which operates at 3 kelvin with over 10 million transistors. This is the first integrated quantum processing unit of its kind.
