Singapore [July 28, 2025] – Aye, the company behind AyeFace—the frictionless biometric identity layer for physical retail—announced today that it has joined the NVIDIA Inception Program, a prestigious accelerator that supports startups driving innovation in AI and data science.
Membership in the NVIDIA Inception Program provides Aye with access to cutting-edge resources, including preferred pricing on NVIDIA hardware, technical training, and go-to-market support. This partnership reinforces Aye’s commitment to building real-time, personalized retail experiences using high-efficiency edge AI models and privacy-first multimodal architectures.
“As we scale our identity engine and recommendation models to serve high-footfall environments, NVIDIA’s ecosystem is a natural fit,” said Yee Yun Lim, CEO of Aye. “With our infrastructure hosted on GCP and powered by NVIDIA’s next-gen GPUs, this partnership gives us a serious lift in speed, efficiency, and scalability, without compromising latency or data privacy.”
