LIGENTEC

LIGENTEC is a B2B manufacturer of photonic integrated circuits for AI, quantum technologies, LiDAR, and biosensors, spun off in 2016 from Professor Tobias Kippenberg’s lab at the Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland, by Michael Geiselmann, Michael Zervas, and Tobias Kippenberg. Headquartered near EPFL in Lausanne with offices near X-Fab in Corbeil-Essonnes, France, LIGENTEC specializes in commercializing all-nitride-core technology. The company is a Swiss-based semiconductor manufacturing partner offering low-loss SiN photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for quantum technologies, LiDAR, communications, space, and sensors. LIGENTEC raised $8.78 million from investors including Horizon Europe, EIC Accelerator, Foundation for Technological Innovation, and Venture Kick. LIGENTEC serves quantum computing applications requiring ultra-low-loss photonic components for qubit control and quantum state manipulation.

2025 Developments: The company continues to advance its quantum hardware capabilities throughout 2025. Ongoing research and development efforts focus on improving qubit performance and scalability. The organization maintains active collaboration with research institutions and industry partners.
