<\/p>\n

\n PhotonVentures, a Dutch deep tech fund aiming to boost Europe\u2019s photonics industry, has closed its second fundraising round with over \u20ac15mn \u2014 bringing its total capital to \u20ac75mn.<\/p>\n

The fund targets startups and scaleups developing solutions with photonic chips for a wide range of app<\/a>lications: from data transmission and health diagnostics to smart sensors, AI, AR, and VR.<\/p>\n

PhotonVentures will initially invest in 20 early-stage companies with international growth potential. It will focus on Seed to Series<\/a> A rounds, with investments varying between \u20ac1mn and \u20ac2.5mn.<\/p>\n

The VC firm is a spinoff and strategic partner of PhotonDelta, a manufacturer of photonic microchips and a contributor to the integrated photonics sector in Europe.<\/p>\n

PhotonVentures raised \u20ac60mn in its first fundraising round last year. Its aim is to reach \u20ac100mn for its initial fund by the end of 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to support the photonics industry both in the Netherlands and Europe,\u201d Ewit Roos, General<\/a> Partner at Photon Ventures, told TNW.<\/p>\n

The technology<\/a> is crucial where light performs essential functions and is used in a wide range of applications,<\/span>\u00a0including data communication, sensing, imaging, and defence.<\/p>\n

According to Roos, the fund\u2019s benefit is threefold: it provides capital, builds on the knowledge and experience of PhotonDelta and its network, and can work as a driver of further VC investment in the field.<\/p>\n

PhotonVentures\u2019s existing portfolio spans across multiple photonics fields and includes startups such as Delta Diagnostics, EFI, and Quix Quantum.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
