Your Update from THE EDGE OF AI
Edge AI is no longer emerging—it’s landing. From smarter hospitals to more sustainable cities, real-world deployment is accelerating across healthcare, mobility, energy, retail, and beyond. At the EDGE AI FOUNDATION, we’re building the global community that’s making it happen.
This month, the Earth Guardian Challenge is officially live—mobilizing developers, engineers, and creators to build edge AI solutions that protect the planet. And with EDGE AI Taipei 2025 set for November 11–12, there’s never been a better time to get involved in the movement connecting AI to the real world.

Unlocking the Future: Generative AI at the Edge – Challenges & Breakthroughs
Generative AI is poised to revolutionize every industry, but the real magic happens when it moves beyond the cloud and directly to the 'edge'—where data is created. This isn't just an upgrade; it's a fundamental shift that demands a delicate balance of safety, efficiency, and performance on resource-constrained devices.
How do we harness the immense power of large generative models for real-time, on-device intelligence without compromising privacy or draining power?
Join us for EDGE AI Talks: Generative AI at the Edge Challenges and Opportunities to explore the answers. This livestream will dive into the critical innovations shaping the future of edge-native foundation models, including:
Discover how engineers and researchers are evolving AI infrastructure into a full-fledged systems discipline, building the robust digital foundations needed for a truly intelligent, pervasive future.

The Earth Guardian Challenge Has Launched—Join Us to Build What the Planet Needs
The Earth Guardian Challenge Is Live
The Earth needs innovators. Are you ready to build tech that protects it?
The Earth Guardian Challenge is now underway, calling engineers, developers, and creators around the globe to design low-power edge AI solutions that safeguard wildlife, monitor ecosystems, and fight deforestation—in real time, on the ground.
From smart sensors that detect poaching to acoustic monitors capturing biodiversity shifts, this challenge is about connecting AI to the planet’s most urgent problems—and turning ideas into action.
Top 5 projects will win a paid trip to Taipei to present at EDGE AI TAIPEI 2025 Apply for hardware support between July 29–August 15 Three tracks: Idea to Prototype, Prototype to Market, and Fast Track

Let’s build the future where AI doesn’t just predict the world—it protects it.
Join Us at The Things Conference in Amsterdam
Discover the future of IoT—where connectivity meets intelligence at the edge.
The EDGE AI FOUNDATION is proud to join The Things Conference 2025 as an ecosystem partner. On September 23–24, Amsterdam becomes the global hub for innovators building real-world impact through IoT.
This year’s conference goes beyond LoRaWAN®, diving into Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NB-IoT, Edge AI, energy harvesting, and more. We’ll be there sharing how real-time, low-power edge AI is transforming industrial and embedded systems—from on-device learning to sustainable deployments at scale.
Whether you're designing next-gen sensors or scaling intelligent infrastructure, this is the community to learn, connect, and deploy with.
Get your ticket and join us!
We’re a community organization and we believe strongly in the power of collaboration.
It’s a team sport and it’s great to see new members “joining the team” - from metal to cloud, from pre-seed startups to big tech.
Recently we announced several new partners and recently we announced Microchip as a new Strategic Partner. Microchip was founded in 1989 and has been a pioneer in the semiconductor space for decades.
Bringing in large partners like Microchip helps the whole community, especially those in the startup space looking for important partnerships.
Watch this space- more to come!
Thanks to Our Strategic Partners
