**Nvsion Sdn Bhd Secures Multi-Million Ringgit Seed Funding to Accelerate Growth in AI-Powered Automated Optical Inspection**
Nvsion Sdn Bhd, a Malaysia-based deeptech startup specializing in AI-powered Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) solutions, has successfully completed a multi-million ringgit seed funding round. Although the exact amount remains undisclosed, the funding marks a significant milestone for the company. The sole investor in this round is Cambrian Fund, a venture capital fund focused on Industry 4.0 themes, marking its inaugural investment.
Cambrian Fund is managed by Southern Capital Group, with anchor investors including Khazanah Nasional through its Dana Impak fund and the co-founders of ViTrox Corp Bhd. The fund’s focus on the semiconductor sector aligns perfectly with Nvsion’s core business.
Founded in February 2025 by Managing Director Jeffrey Chung Wai Loong and three co-founders, Nvsion boasts a combined 46 years of deep technical experience. The startup develops advanced AOI solutions critical for ensuring high precision, improving quality, and increasing efficiency in the outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) and electronics manufacturing services (EMS) segments.
At the heart of Nvsion’s technology is its proprietary **Synthia Vision AI Platform**, which utilizes a hybrid of AI and rule-based algorithms designed for high-speed industrial applications. Beyond the semiconductor industry, Nvsion also sees substantial opportunities to extend its platform into other advanced manufacturing sectors where precision and throughput are essential, such as advanced electronics, automotive, and medical devices.
“Securing this first round of funding is a defining moment for Nvsion,” said Jeffrey Chung Wai Loong. “We are honoured to welcome Cambrian Fund as our first investor. Their backing not only validates our vision and technology but also provides us with access to world-class expertise and networks. With their support, we are confident in our ability to deliver greater innovation, expand our world-class customer base, and contribute to Malaysia’s emergence as a leader in advanced manufacturing.”
The newly acquired capital will be deployed to accelerate Nvsion’s growth in critical areas, including advancing product development and rollout, recruiting top-tier talent, and expanding its customer base.
Kenneth Tan, CEO of Southern Capital Group and manager of Cambrian Fund, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: “We launched Cambrian Fund to back visionary founders building the next generation of global technology leaders. We are proud and excited to partner with Jeffrey and his team. Nvsion’s advanced, software-first approach to machine vision is poised to make a significant impact in a key and rapidly growing segment of the Industry 4.0 landscape. We are confident in their potential to scale and become a market leader, and we look forward to supporting them on their transformative journey.”
With this investment, Nvsion is well-positioned to strengthen its foothold in the semiconductor industry and expand its innovative AI-powered solutions into new advanced manufacturing sectors, driving precision and efficiency across the board.
