Working with a curated subset of portfolio companies, TECHWERX Group Limited pairs complementary technologies, processes, and products to co-create technology-forward packaged solutions positioned for existing and growing market demand. Why Co-Creation? Developing state-of-the-art technologies, novel processes, or advanced materials isn’t enough to build a stable self-sustaining profitable business. Even startups that experienced initial success and rapid growth reach a point of competitive responses, market saturation, and inefficient cost management, slowing-down top-line revenue growth and inhibiting the company from scaling its operations or expanding into new markets or industries. What is Involved with Co-Creation? After identifying a potentially profitable opportunity to pair companies, products, and technologies, the TECHWEX Group Principle Partners, portfolio companies, and their respective advisory boards analyze the product-to-market fit, market density & competition landscape, profitability model, business development approach, and resource requirements. TECHWERX Group Limited also seeks investment, alliance, and funding opportunities with corporate backers, private equity, accredited private or institutional investors, universities, & government entities, including establishing special purpose funding vehicles (SPV), joint ventures, grants, and fit-for-purpose, mutually beneficial alliance agreements.

At Deasil Cognitive, we build these frameworks: developed, customized and configured to precisely fit humans and the machines in their relationship to data and its consequences. Machine Learning Machine learning analyzes information via algorithms, making decisions based on the data collected. Deep learning compiles and organizes the data into layers to create a network that continues to learn and process independently. The intent of machine learning is that data fed back into the system affects business processes through its learning with little to no human intervention. Humans are therefore not compelled to interpret the output data, but the system is taught what data is interesting and what is not, essentially reinforcing good behavior of the data. A good framework joins data to the system’s deep learning–taking millions of points of data such as weather, traffic, interactions, etc., providing the system ways in which algorithms predict success. It then joins that learning back into business processes. The value of endpoints is heavily weighted on the network on which they exist. Endpoints come and go, but the network is the essential infrastructure connecting endpoints. We seek to affect business processing via teaching systems to build correlations and label output data applicable for use.
