Computing & Connectivity Explorations
Photonic Light Source for Transceivers
This Deep Exploration explores the urgent opportunity in advancing photonic light source technologies for high-speed data communication. As data center and telecom bandwidth demands surge, driven by AI and cloud computing, there is a critical need for high-performance, energy-efficient light sources like lasers and LEDs to support next-generation photonic integrated circuits (PICs). This exploration specifically focuses on the multi-billion dollar market for laser technologies that enable faster, more reliable optical data transmission, and seeks to identify startups innovating in this space to overcome performance, cost, and scalability challenges.
Data Center Energy Infrastructure
This Deep Exploration explores the urgent opportunity in addressing the power demands of AI-driven data centers. As AI workloads surge, data centers require vast amounts of firm, reliable energy—often faster than utilities can deliver. This exploration specifically focuses on the multi-billion dollar market for energy infrastructure innovations like microgrids, transformers, and advanced conductors (everything between generation and a data center), and seeks to identify startups solving the “time to power” bottleneck.
