AC|DCVenture Portfolio
The AC|DC venture portfolio is a vertically integrated ecosystem of purpose-built platforms engineered to regenerate local economies, democratize access to technology, and return control to communities. Grounded in ethical design and sovereign infrastructure, the portfolio unites five synergistic ventures: Atlantic AI, Echoplx Compute, Virelia BioScience, Northern Signal Ops, and House of Manwë.
Each venture addresses distinct yet interconnected challenges across the fields of artificial intelligence, quantum research, biotechnology, defence, material science, and advanced manufacturing. Together, these ventures form a civic-tech innovation cluster that enables agile deployment of AI, compute, healthtech, defence, and manufacturing solutions for governments, health systems, small enterprises, artists, and regional startups.
