Nvsion, a Malaysian AI startup specialising in high-precision inspection technology for the semiconductor industry, has successfully secured a multi-million Ringgit investment from the Cambrian Fund. This marks the inaugural deal for the Cambrian Fund, managed by Southern Capital Group, with key investors including Khazanah Nasional and ViTrox Corporation Berhad co-founders. The funding aims to advance Nvsion’s AI-powered Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) solutions, crucial for enhancing precision and efficiency in semiconductor manufacturing.
Founded in October 2024 by Jeffrey Chung and his team, Nvsion leverages over 30 years of combined technical expertise to develop its proprietary Synthia Vision AI Platform. This platform uses a hybrid of AI and rule-based algorithms for high-speed industrial applications, targeting the outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) and electronics manufacturing services (EMS) segments. The company also plans to extend its technology to other sectors, including advanced electronics, automotive, and medical devices.
The new capital will be used to accelerate product development, recruit top-tier talent, and expand Nvsion’s customer base. “Securing this first round of funding is a defining moment for Nvsion,” said Jeffrey Chung, Managing Director of Nvsion. “With Cambrian Fund’s support, we are confident in our ability to deliver greater innovation and contribute to Malaysia’s emergence as a leader in advanced manufacturing.”
Kenneth Tan, CEO of Southern Capital Group, expressed confidence in Nvsion’s potential, stating, “Nvsion’s advanced, software-first approach to machine vision is set to make a significant impact in the Industrial 4.0 landscape.” The investment aligns with Cambrian Fund’s strategy to support technology companies in Southeast Asia with a clear path to market leadership.
