We believe in the power of AI
to improve our lives.

We aim to lead the democratization of Artificial Intelligence. Offering faster, easy-to-use AI acceleration while minimizing power and cost, to simplify AI at the Edge.

We can do this because we are not a regular deep-tech company. Led by our CEO Fabrizio del Maffeo, in just three years since our inception we’ve grown a team of brilliant engineers, developers and business experts to over 190 colleagues around the globe. We are advised by the brightest minds in the AI sphere and backed by major investors, including the European Innovation Council Fund, Innovation Industries, Invest-NL, Samsung Catalyst Fund, Verve Ventures, Fractionelera, the Italian sovereign fund CDP Venture Capital SGR, RVO, Bitfury, Federal Holding and the Investment Company of Belgium (SFPIM) and imec. With an oversubscribed series A, we're bringing the total amount invested into Axelera up to US$ 50 million. An oversubscribed US$68 million Series B financing round, bringing the total amount raised to US$120 million. Axelera AI's Series B funding round is Europe’s largest oversubscribed Series B funding round in the fabless semiconductor industry.

Since July 2021, we’ve taped out two chips (AI Processing Units), and introduced our Metis AI Platform. The hardware and software platform, consisting out of our Metis AIPU and our adaptable Voyager SDK, makes the deployment of machine learning models an effortless task.

Now we are focused on building our solutions and the ecosystem, that together will drive the democratization of AI, enabling a green, fair and safe world.

The AI semiconductor market for application-specific processors is expected to reach more than US$ 50 billion in 2025, with the AI computing board and system market estimated to be three or four times larger. In the coming years, most of the market is expected to shift to the edge. However, edge applications need a completely innovative design which considers specific computational performance, power and economical needs.

The global computer vision market size is projected to grow to $21.3B in 2030 with smart cameras comprising the largest component of that market. During that period, a decisive shift away from PC-based systems towards intelligent stand-alone systems is forecast.

Axelera AI captures this opportunity by having developed a game-changing, user-friendly, scalable technology with superior performance and efficiency at a fraction of the cost of existing players to accelerate computing vision and NLP at the edge.

Axelera AI delivers vision solutions for the Edge. Our Metis AI Platform technology will power the next generation of smart camera system enabling complex applications including image classification, object detection and tracking. Axelera’s Voyager SDK is designed to allow the rapid development of computer vision applications without requiring in-depth artificial intelligence knowledge.

We’re simplifying AI at the Edge - making the impossible possible - with the help of industry-recognized innovation leaders and investors and the Horizon Europe Research and innovation funding program.
