Fast-Track Insights: German Textile Recycler Raises Series A Funding
Here’s a quick rundown of the biggest tech headlines making waves today. From the Huawei Unveils Ascend to ISRO Recruitment 2025, let’s dive into the top tech stories of the day.
Huawei Technologies is set to launch its advanced AI processor, the Ascend 910D, to challenge NVIDIA's dominance in the AI chip market. This chip, manufactured using SMIC's 7nm N+2 process, aims to rival or surpass the capabilities of NVIDIA's H100. As U.S. export restrictions limit China’s access to high-end semiconductors, Huawei’s strategic move aims to reduce reliance on foreign technology and bolster China's semiconductor industry. The Ascend 910D’s performance improvements could disrupt NVIDIA’s market share in China, though challenges remain, including software compatibility and maintaining consistent chip performance.
Eeden, a textile recycling startup based in Münster, Germany, has raised €18 million ($20.5 million) in a Series A round led by Forbion, with new investors including Henkel Ventures and NRW.Venture joining. The funding will enable Eeden to build a demonstration plant, optimize its processing, and establish commercial projects. Eeden's chemical recycling technology recovers pure cellulose and PET monomers from cotton-polyester blends, enabling the production of high-quality fibers. The company aims to provide a sustainable alternative to conventional fibers and support the growing demand for circular materials, especially as EU regulations on textile recycling intensify.
