Recently, Belgium-based holographic display technology developer Swave Photonics announced the successful completion of a €6 million (approximately $6.9 million) funding round. This supplemental Series A financing was led by IAG Capital Partners, with strategic investment participation from Samsung Ventures.
In 2023, Swave Photonics secured a €10 million (around $10.47 million) seed round, establishing a strong foundation for its technology development. Earlier this January, the company further reinforced market confidence by raising €27 million (about $28.27 million) in a Series A funding round.
Swave Photonics is dedicated to developing the world’s first true holographic display platform designed for the spatial and artificial intelligence computing era. Leveraging diffractive photonics principles, its holographic extended reality (HXR) technology precisely sculpts light waves into natural, high-resolution 3D images, creating what is recognized as the “smallest pixel in the world.”
A key advantage of Swave's holographic display technology is its independence from waveguide components. This innovation enables versatile spatial computing applications while maintaining a compact form factor, delivering a more natural and immersive viewing experience. The technology holds significant potential across entertainment, education, and industrial design sectors.
The newly secured funds will primarily support ongoing R&D efforts for HXR technology and accelerate its path toward commercialization.
