RED Semiconductor, a UK based startup innovating processors for AI and cryptography at the edge, has won a place to join the semiconductor industry’s highly acclaimed Silicon Catalyst Incubator program.
RED Semiconductor was previously selected for the first cohort of ChipStart UK, the startup incubator run by Silicon Catalyst and funded by the UK government.
With AI and advanced security becoming essential across all market segments globally, RED Semiconductor’s VISC technology paves the way for their widespread adoption by making computing faster and more efficient. RED’s initial commercial projects include a healthcare application for AI in advanced cancer therapy monitoring, and the industry-wide applicability of post-quantum cryptography.
RED’s VISC technology brings powerful boosts to microprocessor performance and works seamlessly with the rapidly proliferating RISC-V architecture, a versatile and powerful cost-effective alternative to Arm and X86. VISC optimizes complex algorithmic processes for parallel execution using advanced compression and sequencing techniques and is scalable and adaptable for everything from high-volume Edge sensor data processing applications to high-performance data centre systems.
Silicon Catalyst, based in Silicon Valley, USA, is the only incubator + accelerator focused on the global semiconductor industry, including Chips, Chiplets, Materials, IP and Silicon fabrication-based Photonics, MEMS, Sensors, Life Science and Quantum.
Silicon Catalyst has developed an unparalleled support ecosystem for its semiconductor start-ups, providing a strong network of Strategic Partners, technical and business advisors, investors and industry professionals who help companies to launch and scale in the market. In addition, the incubator’s In-Kind Partners provide privileged access to services, expertise, and intellectual property that can help commercialise their companies’ technological innovation.
