The speed of AI computation doubles every 3.4 months, outpacing what standard semiconductor technologies have left to offer. To accelerate exponential advances in AI across industries, a new paradigm for compute – one that is both faster and highly application-specific - is now required. Salience Labs are building silicon photonic solutions that will solve the challenge the growth in AI presents to both data movement in a world where traditional semiconductor technology can no longer scale to keep pace with innovation. Salience Labs is headquartered in Oxford, UK and funded by a portfolio of investors including Cambridge Innovation Capital, Oxford Sciences Enterprises, Oxford Investment Consultants, Silicon Catalyst, Deeptech Labs and leaders from the global semiconductor industry including former CEO of Dialog Semiconductor Jalal Bagherli and the Goh Family Office in Singapore.
