Sowmyan Rajagopalan, Thalia founder, CEO and CTO, writes:
“Our message to IP providers is that analogue design doesn’t have to be a black art – there are technologies and design resources out there that can help with re-use and product diversification, every bit as powerful as those available in the digital design space.”
Investors include Mercia Fund Managers and Finance Wales.
Thalia has facilities in Cwmbran, Wales and Hyderabad, India. It has also received grant funding from Innovate UK and The Welsh Government.
