CG Power Subsidiary Axiro Semiconductor Invests in EdgeCortix to Advance Edge AI Platforms
Mumbai: In a move that highlights the growing collaboration between India and Japan in the semiconductor and AI space, CG Power and Industrial Solutions Limited has announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Axiro Semiconductor has invested in EdgeCortix. The funding round also includes participation from MPower Partners.
The investment is aimed at accelerating the development of next-generation, energy-efficient AI platforms designed for edge computing.
Why This Deal Matters
Edge AI — where artificial intelligence runs directly on devices rather than in large data centres — is quickly becoming a major focus for the semiconductor industry. From telecom networks to robotics and defence systems, the need for fast and power-efficient AI processing is rising sharply.
By joining as both an investor and strategic partner, Axiro Semiconductor is positioning itself at the centre of this fast-growing ecosystem.
What Axiro Brings to the Table
Axiro Semiconductor, headquartered in India, is building advanced semiconductor capabilities across:
- Telecom and satellite communications
- Defence and wireless infrastructure
- AI-driven industrial and consumer technologies
The company’s expertise in RF, mmWave and advanced connectivity chips complements EdgeCortix’s strengths in low-power AI processing. This combination could help create integrated solutions for future AI-enabled networks and devices.
Focus on Next-Generation AI Chips
The funding will support EdgeCortix’s work on its upcoming SAKURA-X chiplet platform, designed for generative and agentic AI workloads. The company is known for its focus on performance-per-watt — a critical metric as AI applications demand more computing power without increasing energy consumption.
Global Collaboration Driving Growth
According to EdgeCortix leadership, the partnership is about more than funding. Axiro brings access to India’s growing industrial ecosystem, while MPower Partners adds global investment reach and networks in Japan.
Together, the partners aim to speed up commercialization and expand into new global markets.
This investment reflects a broader trend: semiconductor companies and investors are increasingly working across borders to build the next generation of AI infrastructure.
