026 Cosmos Innovation: 1B or 0.25T TAM

One North Stories

This is One North Stories, an A*START CENTRAL Podcast

Valuable Software Services or a Generational Company? That was the decision the founding team at Cosmos Innovation needed to answer. Four years since departing the Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R), part of A*STAR, Vijay, Joel and team are still on track for building a generational company. Born at the beginning of Covid, they’ve come out of stealth in October 2023.

What are they building? AI for semiconductor device optimization. AI for semiconductor process optimization. AI for semiconductor device manufacturing optimization. The laws of physics and chemistry are the same as ever, but AI just plainly allows us to optimize better.

Cosmos Innovation is developing a winning combination. Starting with the AI engine and then tandem solar cells (silicon plus perovskite) as their beachhead market. Starting with designing a better solar cell, they will move to pilot manufacturing and then gigawatt factories.
