Alongside EDBI<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"542\" data-end=\"924\">Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) has participated in a Series C funding round for d-Matrix, a company specializing in generative AI inference solutions for data centers, raising $275 million to support the company\u2019s global expansion plans in advanced AI technologies and to accelerate the widespread deployment of its platforms across hyperscalers, enterprises, and governments.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"926\" data-end=\"1042\">Following the completion of this round, the total funding raised by d-Matrix reaches approximately $450 million.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1044\" data-end=\"1284\">The round was led by a global coalition of major investment firms from Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East, including Bullhound Capital, Triatomic Capital, and Temasek, along with new investors such as QIA and EDBI.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1286\" data-end=\"1467\">The round also included continued participation from previous investors, including M12 (Microsoft\u2019s Venture Fund), Mirae Asset, Industry Ventures, and Nautilus Venture Partners.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1469\" data-end=\"1974\">d-Matrix\u2019s fully integrated inference platform combines advanced compute-in-memory architecture, high-speed interconnects, and optimized inference software, delivering 10x faster performance, 3x lower cost, and 3\u20135x better energy efficiency compared to conventional GPU-based systems.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1469\" data-end=\"1974\">This enables data centers to handle significantly larger AI workloads more efficiently, while delivering profitable AI services to customers\u2014addressing the growing challenges of AI sustainability.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1976\" data-end=\"2120\">Sid Sheth, CEO and Co-Founder of d-Matrix, commented:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1976\" data-end=\"2120\">\n\u201cThis funding supports our vision as the industry enters a new era of AI
