CogniFiber implements advanced algorithms such as machine learning and deep learning neural networks within unique optic fibers, which enable up to 10,000x acceleration in computation rate, coupled with a staggering 10x-100x reduction in power consumption and heat dissipation, at these computation rates. CogniFiber’s photonic devices will not only revolutionize the world of AI and computing, but will also make AI cheaper, more mobile and more accessible. In-fiber photonic computing devices can deliver a solution for the ever-growing processing needs, they are easy to manufacture, scalable, fault-resistant, and could be connected to any existing communication platform.
Intel’s IPP program is open (every cycle) for about 10 companies and offers them 6-8-months of professional mentoring framework to improve their technology and products, while leveraging on Intel’s technological resources, global presence, and vast network of business connections, in preparation for a successful market penetration. The program is in collaboration with Intel Capital, one of the world’s biggest Venture Capitals, which enables entrepreneurs direct access to this track.
The IPP program, which began operating in 2015, has accompanied about 30 companies, which raised a total of 281 million dollars between them in the past three years. 93% of the companies are still active, and Intel does not demand or take equity or percentages.
