Strategic Funding The company has recently secured notable funding and support, including a €5.4M European grant, additional Hitachi High-Tech funding, and an IPCEI grant backing, signaling strong financial backing for growth and collaboration opportunities.

Growth Enablement Acquisitions and partnerships with industry players, such as Hitachi acquisition and collaboration with OpenLight, indicate an ecosystem approach that can open co-development or joint capability opportunities for photonics design, testing, and assembly services.

Advanced Testing VLC Photonics offers end-to-end testing capabilities from die to wafer level, including RF up to 110 GHz and multi-probe testing, creating potential for selling turnkey testing services to fabs, Tier-1 suppliers, and integrated photonics developers.

Diverse Platform Expertise With design and testing across multiple material platforms (SOI, SiN, SiO2/PLC, III-V, TFLN, BTO, polymers, graphene) and assembly capabilities, there is a broad addressable market for custom PIC solutions in datacom, sensing, LiDAR, metrology, quantum, and bio-photonics.

Global Market Access Participation in premier events like Laser World of Photonics and a footprint within European funding networks provides pathways to multinational customers, regional distributors, and co-sell opportunities across Europe and beyond.
