The Road2 Innovation Center from Haifa has chosen OpTeamizer from Yokneam as the professional body that will build for the participating start-ups the models of artificial intelligence for their applications as part of the activities of the artificial intelligence center for excellence established by Road2 under the auspices of NVIDIA. At the heart of the Innovation Center is NVIDIA’s most powerful computer in the world, the DGX series, equipped with 8 graphics processors that provide 5 processing power petaflops and include Mellanox internal communication for communication between the graphics processors.
Within 3 months since its appointment, Optimizer has provided assistance in developing AI solutions to 4 companies in the program that have developed smart products and services in their field:
Mirror- facial skin care, wrinkle detection, redness and treatment recommendations.
LiteBC – Non-invasive blood count using a device on the lips.
Rapida – Infrastructure monitoring, troubleshooting and industry risks.
Pickey – Managing the collection of products based on “hand vision”, ie hand bracelets equipped with cameras.
Tomer Gal, Founder and CEO of Optimizer: “Developing AI solutions is a unique expertise that most start-ups cannot acquire in the early stages of their life cycle. This requires large resources to recruit top-notch experts and knowledge of how to manage them and integrate them into development. We provide start-ups with the appropriate advice for the development of the required solutions and allow them to focus on the development of the application itself, the interfaces, the business model, etc. The solutions we offer reduce the time it takes to reach the market, upgrade the innovation of the applications and improve the chances of success of the start-ups at the critical stage of their beginning. “
