GreenWaves Technologies

GreenWaves Technologies is a fabless semiconductor company based in Grenoble, France, founded in 2014.

The company specializes in designing ultra-low-power processors using the open-source RISC-V architecture, aimed at energy-constrained devices. Their mission is to enhance sensor-driven devices and smart wearables by enabling advanced artificial intelligence and digital signal processing on battery-operated hardware with minimal power consumption. The flagship product line, GAP, includes the GAP8, the first ultra-low-power IoT processor, and the GAP9, which offers higher computational capabilities for audio and vision processing. GreenWaves' processors support edge AI, allowing machine learning inference on devices without cloud connectivity. They target developers in the hearables, wearables, and IoT sectors, providing solutions for applications such as hearing aids, smart watches, and environmental monitoring. Their technology is designed to help companies reduce battery-related costs while delivering high performance.
