The scaling journey of Corintis and its CEO Remco van Erp makes it one of the finest scale-ups Switzerland has to offer. šØš Corintis, part of the Project Switzerland 2026 cohort, builds microfluidic cooling for the world's most powerful AI chips. Today's leading chips dissipate 1ā5 kilowatts of heat per package, a kitchen oven's worth of heat, packed into a device the size of your hand. Where conventional cooling runs out of road, Corintis picks up. What sets them apart: š¹ Cooling co-designed chip by chip, with microfluidic channels as narrow as a human hair š¹ Up to 30% lower junction temperatures vs. conventional cold plates š¹ Up to 10x more heat extracted with cooling integrated directly into the chip package š¹ Glacierware, their design automation platform, generates chip-specific cooling architectures in minutes š¹ Manufacturing scaling to 1M+ cold plates per year, one partner from first design to volume production The CEO's journey is just as remarkable: born and raised in the Netherlands, where the highest hill he knew growing up was 350 meters, Remco moved to Switzerland for his PhD at EPFL, and in 2022 co-founded Corintis in Lausanne with Sam Harrison and Prof. Elison Matioli. For Remco, navigating the rapid expansion makes a peer environment invaluable. Having a space to spar with other founders who have no personal incentives in your company ā other than simply wanting to help ā offers a rare kind of honest, unfiltered advice that is hard to find elsewhere. This is what Swiss scaling looks like: world-class science turned into a global business - made in Switzerland. š If you know of an exceptional scale-up like Corintis, make sure to add them to our watchlist for the 2027 cohort!
