EdgeCortix is a Tokyo-headquartered fabless semiconductor company designing low-power AI processors for edge inference and on-device generative AI. Its silicon and accompanying software stack target applications in robotics, defense, industrial automation, space, and intelligent infrastructure where cloud inference is impractical due to latency, connectivity, or power constraints.
The company's flagship product line is the SAKURA family. The SAKURA-II AI accelerator delivers around 60 TOPS within roughly 8W of typical power, with mixed-precision support and built-in memory compression, and is available in M.2 modules compatible with Arm-based platforms including the Raspberry Pi 5. EdgeCortix has also validated radiation-resilient SAKURA-II for orbital and lunar missions and is developing the next-generation SAKURA-X chiplet platform.
EdgeCortix was founded in 2019 by Dr. Sakyasingha Dasgupta, who serves as CEO, with additional operations in the United States and India. The company has secured a multi-billion-yen NEDO project to develop a next-generation low-power AI inference and learning chiplet platform.
In November 2025 EdgeCortix closed an oversubscribed second close of its Series B, bringing total funding above $110 million. The round, more than 30% oversubscribed, added investors including TDK Ventures, CDIB Cross Border Innovation Fund II, and Jane Street Global Trading, alongside earlier backers such as Yanmar Ventures, NTT Finance, Pacific Bays Capital, SBI Investment, and Global Hands-On VC.
EdgeCortix differentiates on performance-per-watt for generative AI at the edge, a co-designed hardware-software stack, and validated suitability for harsh and constrained environments including space, where most commercial accelerators are not qualified to operate.
