Kurt Kaltenegger, Head of ABB Technology Ventures, said:

We are very impressed with Hailo’s product and team and believe their novel deep learning processor will help advance different Industry 4.0 applications. We look forward to combining Hailo’s solution with our cutting-edge industrial technology as an important piece of the puzzle to drive the digital transformation of industries.

Hiroto Sugahara, General Manager of Corporate Technology Division, NEC Corporation, said:

Hailo’s technology is a leading-edge solution for high-performance, low power, and cost-effective processing at the edge. Hailo’s technology will help us dive even deeper into the intelligent video analytics market. We are excited to be a strategic investor in the company and look forward to incorporating Hailo’s technology into our next generation edge-based products.

The Series B round brings Hailo’s total funding to $88 million. It comes on the heels of the launch of Hailo-8, the company’s industry-leading Deep Learning processor for edge devices. With a totally reimagined chip architecture that relies on the core properties of neural networks, Hailo’s chip empowers devices to perform sophisticated Deep Learning applications that could previously run only on the cloud.

The Hailo-8 innovative Structure-Defined Dataflow Architecture translates into higher performance, lower power, and minimal latency, enabling more privacy and better performance for smart devices operating at the edge, including partially autonomous vehicles, smart cameras, smartphones, drones and AR/VR platforms.

The Hailo-8 features up to 26 tera operations per second (TOPS) and significantly outperforms all other edge processors with its small size, high performance, and low power consumption. The company was founded in 2017 by members of the Israel Defense Forces’ elite technology unit.

Julian Rowe, Partner at Latitude Ventures, said:

Hailo is poised to become a defining player in the rapidly emerging market for AI processors. Their Deep Learning edge chip can be disruptive to so many sectors today, while the new, innovative use cases Hailo’s chips can unlock are just starting to reveal themselves. We’re thrilled to join the team for what lies ahead.

Hailo Chairman Zohar Zisapel, said:

Hailo’s Deep Learning chip is a real gamechanger in industries such as automotive, industry 4.0, robotics, smart cities, and many more. A new age of AI chips means a new age of computing capabilities at the edge, and we are excited to lead this transformation.

Orr Danon, CEO and Co-Founder of Hailo, said:

This immense vote of confidence from our new strategic and financial investors, along with existing ones, is a testimony to our breakthrough innovation and market potential. The new funding will help us expedite the deployment of new levels of edge computing capabilities in smart devices and intelligent industries around the world, including areas such as mobility, smart cities, industrial automation, smart retail and beyond.
