Recently, the 2023 Global AI Chip Summit (GACS 2023) was successfully held in Shenzhen. At the summit, the prestigious 2023 List of "China AI Chip Enterprises" was officially announced, and Axera was listed in the "Pioneer Enterprises TOP 30".

Hosted by ChipEast and ChipGorilla under Zhiyi Technology and guided by the Science, Technology and Innovation Bureau of Nanshan District, the 2023 Global AI Chip Summit (GACS 2023) was themed "AI Era: Compete in the Chip World". It consisted of seven major sections, with the main venue featuring an opening ceremony and three special sessions on AI Chip Architecture Innovation, High Computing Power AI Chips and High Energy Efficiency AI Chips. The summit also announced the selection results of the 2023 China AI Chip Enterprises "Pioneer Enterprises TOP 30" and "Rising Star Enterprises TOP 10".

The List of "China AI Chip Enterprises" was evaluated based on six core dimensions: core technological strength, commercial implementation progress, team structure, latest financing progress, market prospect and potential, and domestic substitution value. It aims to highlight outstanding Chinese enterprises that represent the technological innovation and application progress of China's AI chip industry, identify the most innovative and industrial transformative forces at present, and recognize Chinese AI chip teams that have made contributions to filling domestic technological or market gaps.

Upholding the mission of "Democratizing AI for a Better Life" and the vision of "Building a world-class perception and computing platform", Axera focuses on the R&D of high-performance, low-power AI chips for edge and end sides. Up to now, the company has completed the R&D and mass production of four generations of multiple chip products. Adhering to independent R&D, Axera has developed two core proprietary technologies — Axera Smart Vision AI-ISP and Axera Smart Compute mixed-precision NPU, and is also the first chip company in the industry to commercialize and mass-produce AI-ISP and mixed-precision NPU across its entire product line. At present, Axera's chip products are widely applied in the huge edge and end-device markets such as smart cities, intelligent driving, robotics and AR/VR. This selection into the "Pioneer Enterprises TOP 30" list is a recognition of Axera's technological strength and development prospects by the industry.

In the future, focusing on perception and computing, Axera will stay true to its original aspiration and keep focusing on R&D. With advanced technologies, high-performance products and comprehensive services, the company will continue to build world-leading intelligent chips, accelerate the implementation of AI on edge and end-side chips, and truly make democratized AI benefit people's lives.
