Founded in 2022, the startup has developed a way to integrate III-V materials and silicon onto a single chip that can handle light better, use less power, and be mass-produced for things like faster internet, smarter AI systems, and high-precision sensors. Today, 9 March 2026, TNO, High Tech Campus Eindhoven and partners launched a new era for European tech. We are building Europe's first industrial-scale facility for Indium Phosphide photonic chips at a 6-inch wafer scale. With an investment of €150. GX Group Launches €49 mln 'GX Quantum Photonics'. Photonics is set to revolutionise solutions for major societal challenges, from improving road safety and health monitoring to enhancing data security. Additionally, the scaling up from 4-inch to 6-inch wafers. Majority of the switch ports in AI back-end Networks to be 800 Gbps in 2025 and 1600 Gbps in 2027, showing a very fast migration to the highest speeds available in the market. A total of 380 million euros in public investment has been made available for this project by Europe and eleven participating countries. Eindhoven-based startup Photon IP has raised €4.
