One of the key factors holding back the roll out of IoT is the amount of power required for IoT devices. A key concern is to make the batteries of these devices last longer than the devices they are powering, so as to reduce the amount of batteries required.

Efficent has developed a revolutionary microchip design, allowing for more energy-efficient operations and decentralised AI. The company enables ubiquitous AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence  / Machine Learning) using minimal amounts of energy. Efficient devices are future proof because they are general-purpose and programmable in software post-deployment, and maintenance-free because they consume 1/100th of the energy of existing technology. An Efficient chip can last for five to ten years on a small battery.
