€29 million funding boost for Danish flat optics manufacturer to scale manufacturing of high-performance camera lenses
NIL Technology (NILT), a Copenhagen-based flat optics company, has secured €29 million in funding from investors such as the Export & Investment Fund of Denmark (EIFO), Jolt Capital, NGP Capital, and Swisscanto Private Equity. Established in 2006, NILT specializes in advanced nanostructures, particularly in nanostructured flat optics (meta-optics). The funding will support NILT’s efforts to scale its manufacturing capabilities and organization to meet the growing demand for its technology. This technology is crucial for developing ultra-compact, lightweight optical solutions with minimal power consumption and new functionalities for applications in consumer electronics, automotive, robotics, and more.
With demand for its technology increasing, NILT has matured its meta-optics technology across the value chain from design to prototyping and is now scaling its manufacturing organization and manufacturing capabilities to meet higher-volume customer requests. NILT’s manufacturing strategy by nanoimprint lithography (NIL) allows for more precise and versatile nanostructures that enables unmatched meta-optics performance.
