CamGraPhIC Ltd Secures $27M Series A Funding to Power Next-Gen Graphene Photonics

CamGraPhIC Ltd is excited to announce the successful closing of a £27,000,000 funding round, marking a significant milestone in the company's journey. Founded in 2018 as a spinout from the Cambridge Graphene Centre, CamGraPhIC has quickly established itself as an innovator in advanced photonic communications by developing the first commercially scalable graphene transceivers. Unlike traditional Silicon and InP photonics, graphene technology offers transformative benefits in terms of cost efficiency, data bandwidth, latency reduction, and unparalleled environmental stability—key factors driving the technological leap required for next-generation 5G/6G smart antennas, AI-HPC GPU to stacked memory links, and ADAS sensor chipsets. This new infusion of capital will greatly accelerate CamGraPhIC’s research and development initiatives while expanding its pilot production capabilities, which are currently based in Pisa, Italy. With its UK head office situated in Cambridge, the company is uniquely positioned to leverage its strong academic and technical roots in the region while spearheading global advances in photonics technology. The funding will also support the strategic scaling of its production processes and enhance collaboration with leading industry partners and academic institutions. CamGraPhIC’s breakthrough work represents a nexus of scientific innovation and practical application, promising to redefine the performance metrics of photonic communications in diverse sectors. As the company moves forward, it remains dedicated to driving industry advancement and delivering state-of-the-art solutions that empower a smarter, more connected future.
