Japan-headquartered EdgeCortix, a fabless semiconductor company specialising in energy-efficient AI processing at the edge, has announced a new investment from Axiro Semiconductor, a wholly owned subsidiary of CG Power and Industrial Solutions, and MPower Partners, a Japan-based global venture capital fund, building on the momentum of its previously oversubscribed funding round.
The investment is said to strengthen EdgeCortix’s position as a global leader in AI inference, accelerating the development and commercialisation of its next-generation, energy-efficient platforms for Generative and Agentic AI, including its next-generation SAKURA-X chiplet-based platform.
Axiro joins EdgeCortix as an investor, bringing expertise in RF, mmWave, and advanced connectivity IC design for next-generation wireless systems. The company is focused on building high-performance semiconductor solutions across telecom, satellite communications, and defense, while expanding into adjacent domains including AI-driven infrastructure, industrial systems, robotics, and consumer electronics.
Dr Naveen Yanduru, Chief Executive Officer at Axiro, said, “This investment reflects our focus on advancing next-generation semiconductor and connectivity technologies. At Axiro, we are building capabilities across telecom, satellite communications, and defense, while expanding into adjacent domains such as industrial systems, robotics, and consumer electronics, where AI is becoming increasingly relevant. We see alignment with EdgeCortix’s low-power, high-performance AI capabilities, including platforms such as SAKURA-II, and the potential to complement our work in advanced connectivity. This investment also aligns with our approach to strengthening our presence in telecom and wireless infrastructure while expanding into emerging application areas globally.”
“Beyond capital, both Axiro Semiconductor and MPower Partners bring unique strategic value to EdgeCortix,” said Dr Sakyasingha Dasgupta, Founder and CEO of EdgeCortix.
“Axiro’s expertise in advanced wireless systems and strong presence across India’s industrial ecosystem open new pathways for collaboration and market expansion, while MPower’s deep network in Japan and global investment perspective support our continued growth and mission to deliver power- efficient, sustainable AI innovation. Together, these partnerships will accelerate our business development across key regions, including Japan and other global markets.”
