Julie Delamarre of weeteq shares how the Scottish startup is using semiconductor IP to predict and control power transients in real time, helping data centres, renewable energy, automotive and industrial systems operate more efficiently. Meet weeteq in Lorient at the Interceltic Business Forum this August.

As demand for electrification and computing power continues to rise, power systems are under growing pressure to deliver more performance with less waste.

For weeteq, that challenge represents a major opportunity.

The Scottish startup has developed Ultra Edge®, a patented semiconductor IP platform designed to predict and control power transients in real time. Instead of reacting after instability occurs, the technology predicts transient events before they happen, helping systems operate closer to their optimal performance.

We spoke with Julie Delamarre ahead of weeteq’s appearance at the Interceltic Business Forum in Lorient this August, where the company will represent Scotland in the Interceltic Startup Challenge 2026.

What inspired you to join weeteq?

Although I wasn’t the founder of weeteq, I joined because I immediately recognised the global potential of the technology and the calibre of the team behind it.

Throughout my career, I’ve been passionate about helping innovative businesses scale internationally. weeteq stood out because it is tackling one of the biggest challenges facing modern computing and electrification: making power systems dramatically more efficient.

The opportunity to help transform a groundbreaking Scottish innovation into a global commercial success was simply too compelling to ignore.

Today, my focus is on building the strategic partnerships, customer relationships and commercial ecosystem that will take weeteq to the next stage of its growth.

Tell us what your startup does. What problem are you solving?

weeteq has developed Ultra Edge®, a patented semiconductor IP platform that predicts and controls power transients in real time.

Today, power and control systems are designed around the worst-case microsecond rather than normal operating conditions. That means systems are routinely oversized, consuming more energy, requiring more hardware and operating well below their true potential.

Ultra Edge® changes that. By predicting transient events before they happen, we allow systems to operate much closer to their optimal performance while improving stability, reducing energy waste and lowering infrastructure costs.

From AI data centres and semiconductors to renewable energy, automotive and industrial automation, we are helping redefine how power is managed.

Who benefits most from your solution?

Our technology has applications across several high-growth sectors where power efficiency and performance are becoming critical.

That includes semiconductor manufacturers, AI and hyperscale data centres, industrial automation, automotive, renewable energy and grid infrastructure.

As AI continues to drive unprecedented demand for compute power, every watt matters. Our technology helps organisations deliver greater performance while reducing energy consumption and hardware overhead.

What makes your approach different?

Most existing technologies react after a transient has occurred. Ultra Edge® predicts the event before it happens, operating inside the control loop in under 100 microseconds.

That predictive capability allows manufacturers to reduce unnecessary design margins, improve efficiency and unlock performance that would otherwise be lost through over-engineering.

Because our technology is delivered as semiconductor IP, it integrates into existing architectures, making it a highly scalable solution across multiple industries.

What does it mean to represent your region at the Interceltic Business Forum?

It is a real honour to represent Scotland at the Interceltic Business Forum, particularly as weeteq was selected as Scotland’s Best Start-up.

Scotland has an outstanding reputation for engineering, innovation and deep-tech entrepreneurship. Being able to showcase a company that is developing world-leading semiconductor technology on an international stage is something I am incredibly proud of.

I hope it also highlights the strength of Scotland’s innovation ecosystem and the global impact our technology companies can have.

What are you hoping to gain from the Interceltic Business Forum in Lorient?

The Interceltic Business Forum brings together exactly the kind of audience we are looking to engage with as we enter our next phase of growth.

We are currently raising investment to accelerate our commercial expansion, so I am looking forward to meeting investors who understand the scale of the opportunity we are addressing and who share our ambition to build a global technology company from Scotland.

Equally important are the conversations with potential strategic partners and customers, as commercial collaboration is essential to bringing breakthrough technologies to market.

For weeteq, the Interceltic Business Forum is an opportunity to raise our international profile, build meaningful relationships and demonstrate why our technology has the potential to become a foundational part of tomorrow’s AI, semiconductor and energy infrastructure.
