As a young VC firm such as OVNI Capital, it can be harder to secure a spot on deals as founders can't be sure we'll be around in 5/10 years. But then we meet them and show them we are working twice as hard to support them before we can even invest. Our commitment extends to leveraging our network (150 LPs) to connect founders with key industry players, ensuring they have the support they need to thrive. That's why we are excited to share with you our fourth official deal, NcodiN, co-led by Elaia (Clément Vanden Driessche) and Earlybird Venture Capital (Dr. Frédéric du Bois-Reymond). At OVNI, we have three more deals that have yet to be announced but should in the coming weeks bringing a total of 7 deals over the past 18 months. NcodiN uses cutting-edge nanotechnology to create ultra-efficient, high-speed data transmission, enabling supercomputers to handle massive workloads with far less energy. The company was started by Francesco Manegatti, PhD, Bruno Garbin and Fabrice Raineri. cc: Arnaud Laurent / Thomas Renaudin #deeptech #ncodin #hpc #AI https://lnkd.in/dxi7GnMi

Give me 5 🖐️ - Q.ANT just turned 5 years old. And I’m positively shocked how fast time is flying by 🚀. It’s thrilling to see what happened. Happy Birthday Q.ANT 🎂! I couldn’t be more happy and I am so thankful to all who made this happen: Born from a quite simple 😉 quantum product idea, Q.ANT has grown to a startup with: 👉4 product lines 👉almost 90 Q.ANTies from 12 nations 🌈  👉 We had 2 world premiers based on enormous technical breakthroughs  👉And currently we are preparing for the first Quantum Chip pilot line All located here in Stuttgart. Honestly: that’s way more than I had in my plan, when starting Q.ANT in 2018. Please enjoy with me the picture gallery - it gives me so many memory flashbacks, inspiring me and the whole team for so much more to come…   #QANT #quantumtechnologies #quantumexpert #quantum #quantumcomputing #quantumsensing #technology #innovation #visionaries #digitalisation

⚡The #FasTrackathon: Integrated Photonics Edition is coming up November 8th, from 13:00-17:00, at the PIC Summit Europe! Want to solve global challenges with #integratedphotonics technologies? This is the place to start! 💡 Here’s an idea: register for the morning session of PIC Summit and attend FasTrackathon in the afternoon. Or you can just attend FasTrackathon. Either way, secure your spot here:👉 https://lnkd.in/ejCk3-Cz At FasTrackathon, we’ll look at the four domains ecosystem partner PhotonDelta focuses on: Agrifood, Automotive, Healthcare and Datacom/Telecom. Today, we look more closely at Datacom/Telecom. Fibers have a long history in datacom and telecom, but there are untapped opportunities in this field. Integrated photonics technology has been a pioneer, significantly boosting network capacity and energy efficiency. Although using light for information transfer has been crucial, frequent conversions between optical and electrical domains remain a challenge in data centers and network switches. This issue can be addressed with optical switches, reducing these conversions and, in turn, cutting power consumption in data centers. 🌍 Astrape Networks, one of our ventures, focuses on this solution. New applications in optical signal processing and optical computing for AI models are emerging thanks to this integrated photonics technology platform. Join FasTrackathon if … ✅ ... you’re an integrated photonics #fangirl or #fanboy. ✅ ... you want to be an entrepreneur for the day. ✅ ... you want to become a co-founder of a deep-tech venture. ✅ ... you never pass up a hackathon.   See you there! #photonics #opticalswitches #cofounders #entrepreneurs #hackathon Rick Spectrik Boudewijn Joris Earl John Robin Floris Stijn Jorn Ewit PhotonicsNL EFFECT Photonics SMART Photonics PhotonFirst Francesco Pessolano

CytoTronics is disrupting the technological landscape of cell biology, transforming cell biology discovery with their high-throughput, semiconductor-based platforms. Building on a decade of research at Harvard University, the CytoTronics team used that foundation to create The Pixel, a cutting-edge semiconductor platform that enables live-cell measurements and manipulations at high-throughput scale. This unique technology connects several different disciplines, including biology, data science, electrical engineering, software development and cloud computing. In recognition of their achievement, CytroTronics recently received the prestigious New Product Award at Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening 2024. Judges selected The Pixel from 7,000+ attendees and 11 finalists, a remarkable accomplishment for CytoTronics given that the company spun out from Harvard just two years ago.

Inspired after three days of deeptech scene in Estonia by the combination of research and innovation domains with global impact, start-ups, technology concepts for energy and climate, entrepreneurs from research, supportive innovation ecosystems, new possible partnerships, and much more. On the cruise going back from Tallinn to Stockholm, I have time to digest the recent days and previous ideas. One insight of creating coming activity is a workshop in my domain. Exchange creates opportunities, and jointly we can progress the industrial R&D to real implementation. ALMINICA AB contribution in EU Fet Open project SiComb has matured the transfer of knowledge metolodogies which are valuable for creating (real) impact from research. WORKSHOP The Future of SiC: Supply Chains, Value Chains, and Manufacturing It will have two themes (i) The Futures SiC workshop in SiC supply and value chains (ii) Open space technology workshop in SiC manufacturing Late Spring 2024 Get in touch if you are interested in this. - #siliconcarbide #manufacturing #future #transferofknowledge #deeptech #partnerships
