the alliance Inspires and empowers innovators to design systems that perceive and understand.

The Edge AI and Vision Alliance™ (formerly the Embedded Vision Alliance) is a worldwide industry partnership bringing together technology providers and end-product companies to accelerate the adoption of edge AI and vision in products. Founded in 2011, the Alliance now has more than 100 Member companies, ranging from name-brand multinationals to newly formed startups. All have one thing in common: they either produce technology to enable AI and vision in products, or they use AI and vision in their products.

Alliance membership is open to any company that supplies or uses technology for edge AI or vision systems and applications. We define “edge AI” as: any AI processing performed locally. Locally means: on chip, on device, or on premise. We include “hybrid” applications involving AI with both edge and cloud components. Alliance Members benefit from Member Programs which are designed to accelerate success in edge and visual AI.

Our mission

The mission of the Alliance is two-fold:

1. Inspire and empower product creators utilizing edge AI and vision technology

2. Enable Member companies to achieve and accelerate success in edge AI and vision technology by:

• Building a vibrant AI and vision ecosystem by bringing together suppliers, end-product designers, and partners

• Delivering timely insights into AI and vision market research, technology trends, standards and application requirements

• Assisting in understanding and overcoming the challenges of incorporating AI in their products and businesses

The Alliance was formed and is operated by BDTI, a trusted provider of technology analysis and engineering services for more than 25 years.
