Nanoveu Limited has advanced a key milestone with its subsidiary, Embedded A.I. Systems Pte. Ltd, as it enters the 16nm synthesis phase for its flagship ECS-DoT system-on-chip. This development, executed in collaboration with the Centre of Nanoelectronics in Cairo, leverages the advanced 16nm FinFET process from a leading semiconductor manufacturer, ensuring lower power consumption, improved performance, and a significant reduction in chip size when compared to its earlier 22nm design. The ECS-DoT chip, built around a 32-core RISC-V AI engine delivering 30 GOPS/W at sub-milliwatt power levels, is engineered to meet the demands of energy-constrained edge environments with versatile support for multiple I/O interfaces. At the same time, Nanoveu’s subsidiary has introduced a Modular AIoT Development Kit designed to accelerate integration and prototyping in sectors such as predictive maintenance, healthcare, and asset tracking. The kit features plug-and-play daughter cards that integrate sensors, connectivity solutions, and containerized, pre-trained AI models, making it easier for developers to deploy intelligent applications in real-time scenarios. A beta software development kit, along with early access to evaluation hardware and dedicated engineering support, is available through an Early Access Developer Program that aims to foster rapid ecosystem development. The transition to a 16nm process is expected to unlock broader commercial potential, paving the way for the chip’s multi-project wafer fabrication scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2025 and paving the path for a full production tape-out in early 2026. Further validating the platform’s capabilities, recent drone simulation tests revealed a 33% increase in flight time when integrating ECS-DoT, highlighting its potential to revolutionise control and sensing in unmanned systems. Investors may view the accelerated chip development and expanded modular platform as a positive indicator of Nanoveu’s commitment to providing scalable, energy-efficient AI solutions across diverse industries. The seamless integration of advanced semiconductor technology with a comprehensive development kit bodes well for capturing market share in AIoT and edge-compute segments. However, the ambitious timelines—including hardware validation and production ramp-up—introduce risks typical of cutting-edge technology ventures, meaning cautious investors should weigh the pace of execution against the promised technological benefits.
