A new round of information technology has changed to the Internet of Things, and technological innovation has helped transform and upgrade various industries. New technologies with 5G, cloud and AI as the core have promoted the digital transformation of the whole society and injected economic growth momentum into the world. As an important engine of digital economy, with the deployment of more and more enterprises and public services, the Internet of Things has entered a new era of data-driven. In the application of artificial intelligence technology, the data potential is released. Because enterprises can obtain unlimited data-driven rapid innovation, the manufacturing industry uses data-driven transformation and upgrading, and even countries and regions have insight into the future business economy based on data.
In the application of artificial intelligence, China will further activate the deployment of the Internet of Things by virtue of its huge user base, data and application advantages. In particular, the integration of scientific and technological innovation and capital market will launch a scientific and technological innovation board, which will inject vitality into scientific and technological innovation, and innovative enterprises around artificial intelligence, AI chips, robots, smart homes and biotechnology in China will usher in a major capital dividend. According to the report from Galaxy Securities Fund Research Center, the initial budget is that Public Offering of Fund will invest 300 billion yuan in science and technology innovation board, while CITIC Jiantou predicts that the IPO financing scale of science and technology innovation board Company will be about 66.5 billion yuan in 20 19.
Artificial intelligence, as a hot spot and trend of science and technology development in the future, is under the influence of AI. Looking forward to 20 19, the artificial intelligence unicorn enterprises will attract much attention, especially the big and beautiful super unicorn will be favored by the market, and if it can land in science and technology innovation board, it will be sought after by the capital. Below I list some representative AI innovation companies.
Computer vision
There are four machine vision unicorns in China, namely, Shang Tang, Congyun, Kuanshi and Yi Tu Science and Technology, which promote the wide application of AI technology and build a new generation of artificial intelligence open innovation platform for intelligent vision countries based on Shang Tang. In addition, chip manufacturers including Qualcomm and MediaTek also use Jean-Tang Ai technology to bring colorful and innovative experiences to smart terminals, such as improving the shooting experience and photo quality of mobile devices. As the first of the four unicorns, Shang Tang has a valuation of $4.5 billion. It is also reported that Japan's Softbank invested 654.38 billion US dollars, pushing the valuation to 6 billion US dollars.
These four unicorns have attracted a lot of attention in China. Just recently, Kuai Company announced that Defiance Technology was selected as one of the top ten most innovative enterprises in China. In addition, Defiance Technology upgraded its AI strategy this year, using AI to drive the development of the Internet of Things industry, and launched a river map system to help industrial Internet such as logistics, manufacturing and retail to land in various vertical fields. Yin Qisheng, CEO of Defiance Technology, said that it will become the backbone of the Internet of Things in two or three years.
In the view of Yang, a senior consultant of the Internet of Things, the four domestic machine vision unicorns have benefited from the wide application of machine vision, and promoted their AI technology to take root in vertical industries such as manufacturing, retail, finance, medical care and security, and their innovation ability may usher in explosive development.
Artificial intelligence chip
In the Internet of Things era, the number of all kinds of smart devices is growing rapidly. In the next few years, as many as 75 billion devices will be connected to the Internet of Things. The demand for Internet of Things and AI chips for all kinds of smart devices has increased sharply, which is expected to bring tens of billions of dollars in market opportunities. Not only chip giants such as Intel and NVIDIA have developed various chips for IOT devices, but also Internet companies such as Google, Amazon and Ali have entered the field of chips. At the same time, many innovative companies aim at this opportunity and set off a wave of building the core of AI.
In the domestic core-making boom, CAMBRIAN and Horizon became the hottest projects, CAMBRIAN became the first unicorn in the field of smart chips in the world, and successfully blocked artificial intelligence, including mobile phone manufacturers such as Huawei who chose to use CAMBRIAN 1A intelligent processor IP products. Just recently, Horizon raised $600 million at a valuation of $3 billion, surpassing the Cambrian to become the world's largest AI chip unicorn.
The wave of intelligence with artificial intelligence as the core swept the world. Yang pointed out that the development and landing speed of AI technology is beyond imagination, and high-performance chips have become the commanding heights of this era. In this chip war, with the support of capital and policies, innovative enterprises in China are sought after by top institutions, which will also promote the wider application of the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence. After all, in the AI era, customizing chips for artificial intelligence is the key to achieving artificial intelligence.
robot
In the field of robotics, DJI's innovation is regarded as a global model, and its drones are world-renowned and undoubtedly become the most dazzling star under the new economic wave. In the list of the 50 most influential robot companies in the world, DJI ranked ninth in innovation, while Boston Dynamics ranked eighth with a valuation of $24 billion. Today, DJI is no longer limited to consumer drones, but has expanded to develop more commercial drone solutions for vertical industries such as agriculture, construction and public safety.
Ubisoft, also born in Shenzhen, is the world's leading representative enterprise of humanoid intelligent robots. After receiving the A round of financing led by Tencent last year, it was valued at $5 billion. Now it is reported that it will start a new round of financing again. The valuation of this round of financing is expected to be as high as $654.38+000 billion. In addition, James Zhou, CEO of Ubisoft, also revealed this year's IPO plan, and the location was chosen in China. Combined with the scientific and technological innovation board that is being vigorously promoted at present, he is expected to catch this capital express.
Life science and technology
AI technology will open a new era of smart medical care. The combination of life science and big data is considered to be the trend of healthy medical development. With the integration of artificial intelligence, life science and big data, life big data will make a huge leap in the medical field, making "precision medical care" possible. Carbon cloud intelligence was established under the general trend of life science and technology. Since the establishment of 20 15, it has become a hot startup star company, and obtained financial support from listed companies such as Tencent, Zhongyuan Concord and Rongzhilian. According to public information, the valuation is10 billion USD.
The artificial intelligence platform developed by Carbon Cloud Intelligence helps to promote the development of disease treatment, health care, precision nutrition and related research, and integrates the advantages of artificial intelligence into the big data analysis and application of human life data through data mining and machine learning. As a unicorn of life and health management, the cause of carbon cloud intelligence and its significance to human health in the future, as early as last April, it was rumored to seek 654.38 billion US dollars of new financing to support business expansion. The valuation of this round of financing will be as high as 5 billion US dollars. Although this has not been officially commented, as an emerging enterprise with a unique business model and strong brand leadership, it is striving to collect life big data of carbon-based individuals, and then help individuals better manage their health and lead AI innovation through artificial intelligence driving and analysis.
