The Next Gen Computing stream supports early-stage technical companies exploring new computing concepts and algorithms to unlock potential and reduce energy consumption. It funds ventures building enabling technologies and mixed-system architectures addressing bottlenecks like heterogeneous integration, memory movement, interconnects, trusted control, power delivery, thermal constraints, and deployment across complex infrastructures. The nine-month program includes mentoring every eight weeks and targets startups from pre-incorporation to growth stages without fees or equity requirements.
Open to technical founders and early-stage companies from pre-incorporation to growth-stage startups focused on advanced computing technologies. Eligible ventures develop hardware, integration, memory, interconnect, photonics, cryogenic control, software, security, and energy-efficient systems.
