- Solinide
Led · Seed · Aug 2026
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.
- Pixelgen Technologies
Participated · Series B · Aug 2026
Pixelgen Technologies commercializes the Proxiome Kit, the first high-throughput platform to map molecular cell architecture at nanoscale resolution using its Proximity Network Assay. The platform reveals how proteins are organized, clustered and localized on the surface of single cells, enabling researchers to study architectural features of cell state, disease and treatment response beyond protein abundance measurements. Pixelgen targets research applications across immunology, hematology, oncology and cell therapy. The company offers accompanying data analysis and visualization software as part of its product portfolio. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Stockholm, Pixelgen is now scaling commercialization and global expansion following its Series B. Recent funding and board additions aim to support commercial growth, product expansion and digital capabilities.
- OrbDB
Participated · Seed · Aug 2026
OrbDB was founded as a spin-off from KTH Royal Institute of Technology by Paris Carbone and Sonia Horchidan and is based in Stockholm. The company develops a platform that lets organizations set precise error-rate tolerances, automatically approves outputs that meet that bar, and routes high-risk edge cases to humans. OrbDB positions itself as a gatekeeper for AI output, aiming to maximize the volume of work running on autopilot while limiting unquantified risk. The team characterizes its technology as providing mathematically guaranteed AI controls to scale enterprise automation. Public filings indicate the company recently completed a pre-seed raise of at least SEK15.8M, and the founders announced the funding in company communications and Swedish Tech News PRO coverage. OrbDB was first reported on in Swedish Tech News PRO in July 2025.
- Nordic Forestry Automation
Led · Equity · Jul 2026
Nordic Forestry Automation builds physical-AI driven systems, sensor-fusion and robotic solutions for forestry machines, including proprietary software that enables harvesters to measure trees in real time. Its first commercial product is already in use across seven markets on three continents, and its systems have logged more than 20,000 hours of operation. The company partners with large forestry organisations such as Sveaskog, Södra Skogsägarna, Holmen and Weyerhaeuser. CEO and co-founder Lars Svensson emphasizes operator support and automation as the company’s strategic focus. With the newly raised capital, Nordic Forestry Automation intends to expand its international footprint and accelerate development of its next-generation platform and autonomous machine roadmap.
- Arkeon
Participated · Seed · Jun 2026
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.
