Solinide Photonics develops silicon nitride photonic integrated circuits and microcomb sources that can generate dozens of precise wavelengths from a single chip to enable higher-bandwidth, lower-power optical interconnects. The company targets AI data centres and telecommunications applications where moving large volumes of data between processors requires energy-efficient, high-capacity links. Solinide has demonstrated that its microcomb technology can meet the performance required for data-centre links and has integrated it into a rack-mounted product. As a spin-out from Chalmers University of Technology, the company is working toward commercial readiness, scalable manufacturing and real-world deployment. Current plans include expanding engineering and commercial teams, enhancing in-house prototyping and deepening partnerships with industry players. The recent €4 million seed raise is intended to fund these efforts and prepare the technology for manufacturing in Europe.

Radar Reticence produces a software solution that addresses dangerous false 'ghost targets' caused by interference between multiple automotive radars, and uniquely its system does not require new hardware — it can be installed into existing radar systems. The startup is testing its product in real traffic and is running trials together with Volkswagen-owned Nira Dynamics while drawing interest from major suppliers like Bosch, Continental and Texas Instruments. Through its EIC Accelerator project the company aims to progress from prototype testing to a certified, sellable product for the automotive industry. Radar Reticence was founded in 2022 by researchers Emil Nilsson and Hans Hellsten and operates from the Lead incubator in Linköping. The company currently employs six people and plans to double its team over the next year; the new funding will be used to run the first customer pilot and scale the organization. Prior financing includes about 3.2 million kronor in venture capital and roughly 4.2 million kronor in Vinnova grants.

Arkeon develops a method for superconducting quantum chips that allows individual qubit frequencies to be adjusted after fabrication by driving controlled current pulse‑trains through the junction barrier to change junction resistance and tighten frequency placement. The approach aims to improve wafer‑level yield, performance stability, and lower production costs by reducing the need to redesign manufacturing processes. The company initially targets the superconducting quantum processor market and reports letters of intent from several potential customers and a pipeline of roughly 30 companies. Arkeon was founded in 2025 by Peter Hörstedt, Andreas Nylander and Marcus Rommel and is based in Gothenburg. Its current financial step includes a €594.2k Seed round to fund development, customer validation, and international market preparation.

Endre Technologies builds a software platform that combines grid data, societal data and scenario modelling to simulate future power demand and network capacity. The product automates analysis and reporting, supports forecasting of future power and investment needs, and aims to reduce uncertainty in connection processes to enable faster, more accurate grid expansion decisions. The company was founded in 2022 and is based on research from Chalmers University of Technology and Berkeley Lab in California. Early commercial traction includes sales more than doubling in the first four months of 2026 and a pilot with Mölndal Energi Nät that showed nearly a 30% reduction in peak demand for a new district. Endre plans to use newly raised capital to scale its offering, accelerate commercial expansion and further develop its software. The company positions itself to address growing grid capacity challenges driven by electrification and changing demand patterns.
