Grazper’s New Office in Central Copenhagen
By Sonia Breuer Bistrup & Andrea Lundbek Svaneeng
The New Location
Since May 1st, the team at Grazper Technologies ApS has been working out of our new and larger office right next to Frederikskirken (known as The Marble Church) on Frederiksgade 7, 1st floor in central Copenhagen.
Due to our expanding team, the demand of products and services, and growing clientbase, we felt the need to expand our creative space and mirror the great potential of projects within the field of Artificial Intelligence.
The new office is located right in front of one of the entrances to the new metro station “Marmorkirken” (The Marble Church), which has recently opened. We do not have to look far to observe the changes in our city, how people move, and how we collectively use public spaces. It inspires us in the work that we do and it highlights how Artificial Intelligence and technology in general have to move with the quickened pace of our daily lives.
Our Current and Future Projects
Our current work focuses on privacy by design while developing technology that enhances the use of these spaces within retail, transportation, and security. Object recognition can be used to optimise efficiency and safety on the streets of Copenhagen – or any other city. This efficiency benefits the commute of the individual going from A to B but can also be a step towards rethinking the future of urban environments through our Smart City Solutions.
We are developing 3D motion capture solutions that enable virtual rendering of the real world in real time. This is connected to both Smart Retail and Smart Security, where 3D motion capture helps our customers understand and optimise the physical environment of collective spaces.
Grazper might have relocated to a new office, but we will continue our innovative work developing Artificial Intelligence that benefits society and individuals all the while making sure to protect the individual’s right to privacy.
New Year’s reception at Horten - 2019
On the 9th of January 2019 (16.30), Thomas Jakobsen, CEO at Grazper Technologies ApS, will open the New Year’s reception at Horten with a talk on Artificial Intelligence in Three Dimensions.
Thomas will be followed by Tommy Ahlers, the Danish minister of Higher Education and Science, amongst other speakers. They will ring in 2019 with their visions and ideas about the future of technological development and societal solutions.
We hope to see you in the new year!
Place: Horten, Philip Heymans Allé 7, 2900 Hellerup

Talking about FPGAs and AI!
In connection with the High Tech Summit at DTU Copenhagen (Kgs. Lyngby), you can find an interview with Grazper’s CEO, Thomas Jakobsen, in today’s edition of Ingeniøren.
Under the headline, “FPGA’s and Artificial Intelligence makes Danish Surveillance “Privacy-friendly” (FPGA’er og kunstig intelligens gør dansk overvågning ‘privacy-venlig’), Thomas describes how FPGAs are a great choice for developing AI, Privacy by Design and Deep Learning.
Thomas will speak at 10.20 am to 12.20 pm, at the High Tech Summit, which takes place on the 10th of October 2018.

FPGAworld Conference in Stockholm and Copenhagen
Yasser Kilde Bajaw, Sr. FPGA Design Engineer at Grazper, is taking his knowledge on tour.
On the 18th of September, at 11.30 am, you can find Yasser in Stockholm sharing his knowledge of "Optimized Deep Learning on FPGAs" as a part of the FPGAworld Conference.
On the 20th of September you can also find him speaking in Copenhagen/Lyngby at 3 pm.
Yasser will delve into how FPGAs offer several advantages for use in the field of deep learning in terms of power, stability and performance. However, current frameworks sacrifice considerable performance in favour of flexibility when used for FPGAs. The presentation deals with the advantages of implementing deep convolutional networks that are specifically designed for FPGAs. The presentation does so by outlining methods for optimally using the FPGA resources by employing techniques such as bit-width reduction and 1-bit weights.
