As AI datacenters, electric vehicles, and building electrification drive surging energy demands, we face a major “power problem” caused by insufficient grid capacity and aging infrastructure. And while distributed energy resources (DERs) offer a viable solution, the bespoke nature of current DER projects—each requiring unique configurations and complex architectures—leads to increased costs, stranded assets, and compromised resiliency. The DG Matrix “Power Router” pioneers a breakthrough in digital-transformer technology to offer a solution that is far simpler, more efficient, more reliable, and more cost-effective. Based on $200M of foundational research and backed by a seasoned team, DG Matrix is reshaping our energy landscape to accelerate electrification and decarbonization.

Imagine products that learn more and more to get better and better the more you use them. Like cars. Historically, cars have been at their best when leaving the factory, only to deteriorate over time. OEMs have focused on product design and manufacturing, leaving it up to the user to figure out how to best use their products. But today products must learn and adapt to where, how, and for what they are used to make every unit run at its best. With its unique Edge AI software, Ekkono turns the concept of machine learning upside down by not only doing inference but also training at the edge, in operations. By learning and predicting the normal behavior of every unit, OEMs can not only detect the need for servicing but also adapt to run safely and efficiently for the environment and the idiosyncrasies of the car and the driver. This means that the more you drive, the more it learns, making the car better over time. Ekkono has customers like Volvo, Siemens Energy, Atlas Copco and Grundfos, empowering them to implement predictive, self-learning, and customized smart home, smart industry, and smart product features. In a partnership with Infineon announced earlier this year, Ekkono provides an optimized solution on the AURIX™ family of microcontrollers for Automotive.

As the global population ages rapidly, the growth rate of baby boomers and other older generations far surpasses that of younger populations. By 2034, this demographic shift is expected to create a significant care gap. Addressing this gap requires the integration of advanced technologies and adequate funding to ensure these solutions meet the growing needs. This necessity is recognized not only by the NIH and other U.S. government entities but also by governments worldwide. In recent years, the number of startups tackling these challenges has surged. AARP is leading the charge with its AgeTech Collaborative, which nurtures and supports startups focused on various technological and regulatory aspects to meet the care needs of the aging population. This talk will provide an overview of the market landscape, key technology areas, the initiatives of the AgeTech Collaborative, and highlight successful companies emerging from it.
