Founded in 2023 in Paris, France, NcodiN is a deep-tech startup developing photonic interposers with integrated nanolasers to overcome the speed and energy limits of traditional semiconductor hardware. With a vision to enable scalable, energy-efficient computing, NcodiN is building the foundation for the next era of semiconductor infrastructure.

At the core of NConnect’s differentiation is the world’s smallest laser, enabling dense integration on silicon and unprecedented scalability without requiring disruptive changes to processor architectures. The company has demonstrated proof-of-concept nanolasers with record energy efficiency below 0.1 pJ/bit, integrated nanodetectors, and full optical links – all on silicon. In parallel, NcodiN established an independent cleanroom that now serves as a hub for rapid prototyping and joint development with industry partners.

Dr. Francesco Manegatti, CEO and Co-founder of NcodiN, commented:

“This funding marks a pivotal milestone for NcodiN. We are delivering the missing piece for the industry’s most pressing challenge: enabling extremely high memory bandwidth to power the AI factories of tomorrow. Our technology unlocks wafer-scale superchips by providing the most energy-efficient interconnects for networking across tens of chiplets – an essential component in the architectures everyone is chasing. As new generations of GPUs and AI accelerators emerge to keep pace with rapidly evolving GenAI algorithms, NcodiN is laying the photonic foundation that makes them possible.”

Dr. Oliver Kahl, Principal at MIG Capital, said:

“NcodiN is working at the center of the AI infrastructure market, a sector experiencing rapid, significant growth driven by the surging demand for generative AI, the proliferation of big data, advancements in specialized hardware like GPUs, and the widespread adoption of cloud computing. The company’s ambitious team is shaping and empowering the future of computing to drive innovation across multiple industries. We couldn’t be happier to support them.”
