Huge thanks to Deutsche Börse Venture Network for the warm congratulations!

The milestone of € 254.4 mio funding achieved by the entire Black Semiconductor team is truly remarkable. Not only have we taken on an exciting challenge, but we have also grown beyond our personal and professional limits.

We are grateful for the incredible support and endorsement we have received, most recently from industry giants such as Amazon Web Services (AWS)'s Stefan Hoechbauer, as well as from government leaders such as Germany's Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck and NRW Minister Mona Neubaur. I would like to express my sincere gratitude on behalf of the entire company and our investors, Cambium Capital Management, Capnamic, East Hill Equity - Managing Scania Growth Capital, NRW.BANK, Onsight Ventures, Porsche Ventures, Project A, TVF | TechVision Fonds, and Vsquared Ventures.

We are beyond excited to announce that we have successfully secured €254.4 million in our Series A and the IPCEI ME/CT program. This is one of the largest funding rounds ever for a chip manufacturing company in Europe! The total investment comprises €228.7 million public funding from Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz and Ministerium für Wirtschaft, Industrie, Klimaschutz und Energie des Landes NRW and €25.7 million equity investment, led by Porsche Ventures and, for the second time, Project A. New investors include major venture capital firms, corporations and industry leaders such as East Hill Equity - Managing Scania Growth Capital, Capnamic, TVF | TechVision Fonds and NRW.BANK. They are joining our seed round investors Vsquared Ventures, Cambium Capital Management and Onsight Ventures. “We highly value the strong support of the government and renowned investors to jointly advance the development of novel technologies in Europe. The investment enables us to drive our product development and 300 mm wafer pilot production facility forward at full speed. As traditional chip technology moves closer to its technological and economic limits, our innovation paves the way for faster, more powerful, cost-efficient, and energy-efficient computation.” says CEO Daniel Schall. The capital will enable us to build our pilot line in Aachen, Germany, for the long-term goal of mass production in 2031. In addition, we will continue to hire the best talent and professionals, with a goal of growing from 30 to 120 employees by 2026. Thanks to everyone who has made this possible, especially our partners and investors, and of course, the entire BLK team!
