Synthara secured Seed funding round to develop next generation of adaptive AI processor for edge applications

Zurich based Synthara, a spin-off from the UZH-ETH Institute of Neuroinformatics (INI) in Zurich, has secured Seed funding and research partnership to generate new adaptive AI processors for edge applications. The seed financing round was led by High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF).

Synthara is a semiconductor AI company working on a new breed of edge-AI chips that eliminate the trade-off between performance and energy efficiency. Its technology is a result of years of interdisciplinary R&D in system architecture, neuroscience, and neural networks at the Institute of Neuroinformatics (University of Zürich and ETH Zürich). Synthara’s designs are hand-crafted for smart sensor applications whose computational workload is highly dynamic, such as wearables, IoT, and monitoring. The company is expanding rapidly and is on track to create double-digit high-tech jobs in Switzerland and Germany.

The financing round was led by High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF).

Synthara has been supported by both Venture Kick and Venture Leaders.
