Carbon Cloud Intelligence recently acquired Israel's Imagu Vision Technologies and established the carbon cloud's overseas artificial intelligence research center iCarbonX-Israel in Tel Aviv. However, the financing conditions for this transaction have not been disclosed.
According to official information,
The acquisition and the establishment of the AI ​​Center have enhanced iCarbonX's capabilities in advanced image analysis, computational biology, and machine learning.
Why does Carbon Cloud Intelligence acquire an image recognition company or establish an AI research base in Israel?
Before answering this question, let's look at Imagu's past.
According to Crunchbase, Imagu Vision Technologies is an Israeli company established in 2005. The team has extensive experience in physics, mathematics, engineering, and computational neurobiology. Advanced image understanding technologies have been developed and related software that can recognize digital images and videos has been introduced. The software is able to fuse multi-domain knowledge, allow the machine to understand the environment, and support multi-domain object recognition.
This groundbreaking technology can provide high-performance solutions in a short time, customize the software's identification target according to customers' different needs, adjust environment and image sources, and can be widely used in many fields, including medical and medical imaging. , semiconductors, homeland security, and e-commerce.
Imagu founder Mor Amita is a Ph.D. in mathematics. After Imagu was acquired, he is currently concurrently the leader of iCarbonX-Israel. Dr. Amita also issued a statement after the acquisition stating that the company had a successful precedent in the application of image understanding in the field of biology and medical imaging, and hoped that through this acquisition “created based on artificial intelligence and biological, behavioral, psychological and demographic data. The integrated digital life system ".
According to CEO Wang Jun, the acquisition of Imagu is an important step in the innovation strategy, and the phase-out of the AI ​​Center in Israel is because of its unique advantages.
“We are developing a digital ecosystem in which personalized health stewards will provide guidance for healthy living, disease prevention, and improved medical care. This is only possible through the top biotech and artificial intelligence teams. With hard work, Israel has a groundbreaking interdisciplinary culture, talents, and entrepreneurial spirit, making it an excellent location for iCarbonX to create a global artificial intelligence research and development center."
Carbon Cloud Intelligence was founded in October 2015 and was founded by Wang Jun, a former partner of GeneCo., Ltd., to create "China's first professional health data collection platform with the highest degree of professionalism, combining China's strongest biotechnology and artificial intelligence. Leading team, through data mining and machine learning, brings the advantages of artificial intelligence to the analysis and application of large-scale life big data."
The outstanding entrepreneurial background has brought carbon cloud intelligence to a great deal of attention at the time of its birth. In April 2016, it received more than US$100 million in Series A financing. Leading investors include Tencent, Zhongyuan Xiehe and Tianfu Group. A value of nearly 1 billion U.S. dollars.
In January of this year, Carbon Cloud Intelligence established Carbon Cloud (Malta) Co., Ltd. in Malta, which became the first international base for carbon cloud deployment global smart health management platform. According to the official website, the company will carry out intelligent health management based on multiple levels of life data such as genes, proteins, and metabolism, including disease treatment, preventive care, and precision nutrition.
The establishment of Israel's AI Center is the second step of Carbon Cloud's overseas strategy. With a health management platform and an artificial intelligence center that is also based overseas, carbon cloud intelligence has its ambition to establish a global health data platform.
