The law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors make an informed decision. If you are a wholesale investor under the definition of that term in clause 3 of Part 1 Schedule 1 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013, the usual rules do not apply to offers of financial products made to you. As a result, you may not receive a complete and balanced set of information. You will also have fewer other legal protections for these investments. Ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing yourself.
As the enormous capabilities of AI are moving from virtual models into the physical world, we're seeing an explosion of autonomously operated, AI-enabled devices - robotic dogs, home assistants, driverless delivery carts and cars. This new world of embodied AI is developing at real pace before our eyes.
The biggest challenge for all these devices, though, is access to energy. Current charging infrastructure was built for fixed places and human intervention, not for the millions of autonomous units that are coming - it simply isn't practical for humans to plug each one in.
So for AI devices to truly scale, they need to be able to source their own energy.
Wireless charging is the only solution that makes this possible.
IntDevice is a New Zealand deep-tech company that has spent almost a decade refining their proprietary high-power, high-efficiency wireless charging systems for electric devices and autonomous vehicles. Many of the Auckland-based team of engineers are University of Auckland graduates, a renowned global centre of excellence in wireless charging research.
A high-performance, market-beating design that customers want
Successful commercial deployment depends on several elements coming together at once: high power, high efficiency (90%+ consistently), large misalignment tolerance, compact size, reliability, and low cost.
Most existing solutions force a trade-off between these: IntDevice doesn't. That's why many of their customers have come to them after first trying and being let down by, competitors. And because their design has no moving parts, cords, or contact plates, it stays safe and reliable even in wet, dusty, outdoor, and flammable environments.
Their technology IP is patented and protected. They've also secured regulatory approvals for their units - products are market launch ready now.
On the cusp of mass-market commercialisation
Tech is well past R&D, trials and experimentation, having been piloted, tested and refined successfully with many customers.
As an early-stage company, they're focussed on initial market entry on segments moving the most rapidly toward commercial market launch: lower-power AI robotics (eg security dogs and personal assistants), and shared vehicle fleets.
As the leading market in physical AI deployment, China is the initial target geography - customers there are the most ready to go to market, and the Chinese electronics manufacturing supply chain is the most mature.
Longer-term, the growth potential of the solution is immense, since the products work across low, medium, and high-power applications. Targeting market launch in two years in larger markets with higher-power segments, such as autonomous passenger cars, delivery vehicles, and shuttle buses or taxis.
With Letters of Intent from two Chinese channel partners totalling NZ$15m, IntDevice are seeking to raise up to NZ$5m: to accelerate business development and sales in targeted segments and markets; targeting NZ$2-3m in sales this year.
