SCIL Nanoimprint Solutions

Invest-NL is committed to a sustainable and innovative future for the Netherlands. One of the themes that Invest-NL focuses on is deeptech. With our own Deep Tech Fund, we specifically invest in companies active in key enabling technologies.

The development of nanotechnology is an important step towards an innovative future. Therefore, Invest-NL supports SCIL Nanoimprint Solutions through the Deep Tech Fund with an investment of € 2.5 million, part of a total investment of over € 10 million. The funding round, together with imec.xpand, RSBG Ventures, and the Brabant Development Agency (BOM), marks the spin-out of SCIL from Philips into an independent company.

SCIL produces groundbreaking nano-fabrication equipment and materials solutions that enable high-tech industries to create smaller, more efficient photonic and electronic devices. Based on technology developed within Philips Research, SCIL has played a leading role in the innovation of equipment for miniaturizing photonic devices and semiconductors. Their nano-imprint lithography equipment and materials enable high-volume, low-cost production of products such as AR smart glasses, lasers, biosensors, and metalenses for smartphones and other consumer electronics.
