[RIMA/MUTA] Music AI Company Emotionwave Selected as Member of NVIDIA Inception Program

Emotionwave, a music AI and metaverse company, announced that it has been selected as a member of the NVIDIA Inception Program on August 24th.
The NVIDIA Inception Program is a global program that supports innovative startups developing artificial intelligence (AI) and data science technologies. Emotionwave was selected as a member based on its proprietary AI engine 'RIMA' technology and metaverse business.
RIMA is an AI engine that creates and performs music across various genres through deep learning-based Generative AI technology. It creates the most appropriate music based on vast amounts of music information, such as melodies, accompaniments, arrangements, and song form creation, using customers' humming or inputted music information. The Emotionwave AI team, selected as an Inception Program member, will receive various benefits, including NVIDIA's latest GPU technology.
In particular, it is expected to receive not only hardware and software solutions necessary for designing deep learning algorithms based on the GPU accelerated computing platform but also world-class deep learning technology development, consultation, and technical support. In addition, through various partnerships such as global client partners, overseas investment attraction, and alliances, it appears that diverse collaborations can be secured for global expansion and technological advancement.
Currently, Emotionwave's RIMA AI engine is accelerating its efforts in music creation and performance, such as the commercially available RIMA Public and Concert Zone, and advanced song form generation using music information.
Furthermore, it announced that it is doing its best to commercialize a Web 3.0 ecosystem based on leading generative content by applying this engine to MUTA, its metaverse strategic business. Emotionwave plans to provide this music generation AI engine not only through its own solutions but also through partnerships with manufacturing, consumer electronics, retail, and content companies.
Senior Researcher An Su-gil in the CTO Office of Emotionwave, said that "this partnership with Nvidia will greatly help us in advancing AI technologies such as the RIMA artificial intelligence engine and MUTA solutions, and entering the global market."
Meanwhile, Emotionwave's RIMA team announced that they will launch 'RIMA Global' project on Kickstarter in the US and begin full-scale entry into the US starting with a performance in New York in 2023.
