SINGAPORE– Zero-Error Systems (ZES), which specializes in highly reliable semiconductor solutions for space and power management applications, has received a USD 7.5M investment in a Series A funding round that was oversubscribed. This funding, which includes the Dart Family Office and Airbus Ventures, among others, will help the company meet the rising demand for radiation protection, power reliability, and data integrity solutions created explicitly for Low Earth Orbit satellites, deep space rovers, and landers, as well as a wide range of power management application needs on Earth. It will also enable the company to expand its global sales and marketing efforts.
In recent years, there has been a notable increase in companies developing application-rich satellites and high-precision space robots for lunar and Mars missions. While software and algorithms play a crucial role in driving intelligence, hardware, and semiconductor innovations are equally important in supporting the high processing power required, ensuring reliability in extreme environments, and enabling higher power density in energy-constrained satellites while prolonging their lifespan in space.
According to Dr. Shu Wei, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder of ZES, many aerospace businesses use Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) semiconductor components for their satellite electronics systems, which are not made to resist the severe conditions of space. “With our patented radiation hardening technologies, we can protect COTS semiconductor devices from malfunctions, addressing essential power reliability and data integrity concerns.”
“ZES takes pride in being a pioneering Asian semiconductor startup to develop radiation-hardened semiconductor solutions. By bridging the space and semiconductor industries, ZES plays a strategic role in Singapore’s tech landscape,” explains Khor Hwai Lin, Vice President of Business Development and Strategy at ZES. “As part of ZES’ new growth plan, our team plans to elevate its engineering capacity by recruiting additional electronics engineers specializing in space and various power management applications.”
This latest financing will also support the company’s R&D activities in Singapore while facilitating customer design-in activities globally. Zero-Error Systems (ZES), a university spin-off from Nanyang Technological University Singapore, offers high-reliability semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs) and reliability testing services that enable greater functionality, lower cost, longer lifetime, and greater power efficiency for space, as well as various power management applications.
