Franco-Italian semiconductor giant; ~$13B revenue. STM32 MCU family powers 4B+ IoT/embedded devices. Strong SiC power device position for automotive and industrial markets.
STMicroelectronics was formed in 1987 through the merger of Italy's SGS Microelettronica and France's Thomson Semiconducteurs in Geneva, Switzerland. The company has built a comprehensive portfolio spanning microcontrollers (MCUs), MEMS sensors, power management ICs, silicon carbide devices, and wireless connectivity chips serving automotive, industrial, IoT, and consumer electronics markets worldwide.\n\nSTMicro is perhaps best known for its STM32 family of ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers, which power billions of embedded applications from smart home devices and wearables to industrial controllers and medical devices. The company is also a major manufacturer of MEMS inertial sensors (accelerometers, gyroscopes) found in smartphones and automotive safety systems, and has a rapidly growing SiC power device business targeting EV inverters and industrial power converters. STMicro reported revenues of approximately $13 billion in FY2024 and guided for continued mid-to-high single digit growth in 2025 across most end markets.\n\nSTMicro operates 11 main manufacturing sites across Europe and Asia, giving it significant vertical integration and a degree of supply chain resilience. The company is jointly owned by French and Italian state entities holding approximately 27.5%, reflecting its strategic national significance. ST is expanding its Catania (Sicily) SiC manufacturing campus to meet surging EV demand and is a founding partner in multiple European semiconductor ecosystem initiatives.
Indoor vertical farming company using AI-optimized growing systems. San Francisco, CA. Raised $940M+ including $400M from SoftBank. Partners with Walmart for US farms.
Plenty is a San Francisco-based indoor vertical farming company that uses AI, machine learning, and robotics to grow leafy greens and other produce in controlled indoor environments. The company has raised over $940 million from investors including SoftBank Vision Fund, which invested $200 million in 2017, and has positioned itself as the technology leader in data-driven indoor agriculture.\n\nPlenty's farms use precisely controlled light, temperature, humidity, and nutrient conditions to grow crops that are free from pesticides, use 99% less land, and consume significantly less water than conventional field agriculture. The company's AI systems continuously optimize growing conditions based on sensor data, learning to improve yields and quality across crops and growing cycles.\n\nIn 2022, Plenty announced a landmark partnership with Walmart to supply leafy greens from a new large-scale facility in Compton, California. This partnership provided both a major commercial anchor and significant additional funding from Walmart, validating Plenty's technology and business model at scale. The company also operates a dedicated strawberry R&D partnership with Driscoll's, the world's largest berry company, demonstrating the platform's potential beyond leafy greens.
