Wise Integration is headquartered in France, but the startup has already opened offices in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and South Korea, as well as a design center in Canada.
The company addresses a wide range of markets, including some—mobile phones, laptop computers, electric mobility—whose end-users are consumers. However, Wise Integration’s solutions are also used by equipment manufacturers and data centers, dramatically reducing their overall power consumption. Today, Wise Integration, with a portfolio of more than 20 patents, is known as an innovator in power electronics.
The company’s current product portfolio centers around WiseGan® and WiseWare®. WiseGan® is a technology developed in CEA laboratories and protected by four CEA patents. At the core of the technology is a power GaN IC specially designed to maximize the benefits of the material. WiseWare® is a 32-bit digital microcontroller optimized for GaN power supply architectures.
After an initial prototype, Wise Integration began scaling up its technology and released its first commercial product in 2022.
