About iniLabs

iniLabs Ltd is a spin-off of the Institute of Neuroinformatics at the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland. The company incubates neuromorphic technologies and offers prototype, product and production development as well as expertise in neuromorphic hardware and algorithm development. iniLabs became best known for the Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS), an event-based image sensor. Customers and project partners include IBM, Cornell University, DARPA programs (SyNAPSE, Fast Light Autonomous Quadcopter) and the EU Horizon 2020 consortium switchBoard. Commercial applications are handled through the spin-off companies iniVation and SynSense; the technologies are used in over 800 laboratories and companies worldwide, including in aerospace, the automotive industry, consumer electronics, industrial image processing and security. iniLabs also endows the Misha Mahowald Prize for Neuromorphic Engineering.
