Penang deeptech startup, Nvsion, raises seed funding from Cambrian Fund to advance Malaysia’s AI-powered industrial vision technology

**Nvsion Sdn Bhd Secures Multi-Million Ringgit Seed Funding to Accelerate Growth in AI-Powered Automated Optical Inspection Solutions**
Nvsion Sdn Bhd, a Malaysia-based deeptech startup specializing in AI-powered Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) solutions, today announced the successful completion of a multi-million ringgit seed funding round. While the exact amount remains undisclosed, the round was solely backed by Cambrian Fund, a venture capital fund focused on Industry 4.0 themes, marking its inaugural investment.
Cambrian Fund, managed by Southern Capital Group, counts Khazanah Nasional—via its Dana Impak fund—and the co-founders of ViTrox Corp Bhd among its anchor investors. With a primary focus on the semiconductor sector, this investment aligns with the fund’s strategy to back technology companies in Southeast Asia that boast exceptional founders and clear paths to market leadership.
Founded in February 2025 by Managing Director Jeffrey Chung Wai Loong and three co-founders, Nvsion brings together a formidable 46 years of deep technical expertise. The startup develops advanced AOI solutions vital for ensuring high precision, enhancing quality, and improving efficiency within the outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) and electronics manufacturing services (EMS) segments.
At the heart of Nvsion’s innovation is its proprietary **Synthia Vision AI Platform**, which leverages a hybrid approach combining artificial intelligence and rule-based algorithms. This powerful platform is engineered for high-speed industrial applications, delivering superior performance in precision inspection tasks.
Beyond its core semiconductor focus, Nvsion identifies significant opportunities to expand its platform into other advanced manufacturing sectors where precision and throughput are equally critical, including advanced electronics, automotive, and medical devices.
“Securing this first round of funding is a defining moment for Nvsion,” said Jeffrey Chung. “We are honoured to welcome Cambrian Fund as our first investor. Their support not only validates our vision and technology but also provides us access to world-class expertise and networks. With their backing, we are confident in our ability to drive further innovation, broaden our world-class customer base, and contribute to Malaysia’s emergence as a leader in advanced manufacturing.”
Kenneth Tan, CEO of Southern Capital Group and manager of Cambrian Fund, added, “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.”
