Eindhoven-based AxeleraⓇ AI will join the Netherlands Pavilion at Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona with a clear mission: to accelerate artificial intelligence through energy-efficient, high performance scalable computing. With products ranging from the Axelera AI MetisⓇ AIPU to its latest announcement, Europa®️ AIPU, Axelera continues to redefine performance standards for AI inference: from edge devices to enterprise servers.
Axelera AI develops purpose-built hardware and software designed to maximize AI performance at a fraction of the cost and power consumption of conventional solutions. Combining its proprietary digital in-memory computing (D-IMC) technology with a RISC-V dataflow architecture, the company enables AI computation at the edge, where data is generated. This approach enhances efficiency for applications such as computer vision and generative AI, reducing latency and environmental impact.
Technological independence
Founded in 2021, Axelera has rapidly grown into one of Europe’s most promising AI chip innovators, with R&D centers in Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, and the UK. From its headquarters at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven, its 220-strong team works to strengthen Europe’s technological independence in AI hardware: an area traditionally dominated by U.S. and Asian players.
Participation at MWC Barcelona 2026 allows Axelera to expand its global network and connect with investors, technology partners, and enterprise leaders. The company’s focus will be on meeting CIOs, CTOs, and Heads of Product from the United States, Taiwan, and Europe. At the Netherlands Pavilion (stand CS54), Axelera will showcase live demonstrations of its AIPU solutions, highlighting how AI can become more powerful and sustainable at the same time.
For organizations looking to boost AI performance while reducing energy use, a visit to Axelera AI at MWC 2026 is highly recommended. The AIPUs illustrate how European innovation can redefine the balance between intelligence, efficiency, and sustainability in the global AI landscape. You can find their booth at The Netherlands Pavilion, Booth CS54 at MWC Barcelona 2-6mrt 2026. Or schedule a meeting to discuss potential opportunities.
