Photon Bridge Raises €10m Seed Round
  • •Dutch startup Photon Bridge raises a €10m seed round for laser devices connecting AI chips
  • •Company says its laser technology can improve chip performance inside data centres
  • •Photon Bridge says scalable manufacturing can serve fast-growing AI infrastructure demand

Photon Bridge, a Dutch startup developing laser technology to connect AI chips in data centres, raised a €10m seed round, according to Sifted’s exclusive report published on October 21, 2026. The company says its devices can improve chip performance and that its technology can be manufactured at scale to meet demand from fast-growing AI infrastructure. The visible article text does not provide further readable details about the round or the technology.

The article identifies Photon Bridge as a Netherlands-based deeptech company and names investors and other organizations in text that is corrupted and unreadable in the supplied copy. It therefore does not establish their identities or any investment amounts beyond the €10m seed round. No technical specifications, manufacturing capacity figures, deployment timeline, or customer names can be confirmed from the readable text.

The report’s stated focus is connecting AI chips inside data centres with laser devices. Photon Bridge says this approach is intended to improve their performance, and presents scalable manufacturing as a way to serve the expanding infrastructure needs described in the article. The supplied copy contains additional garbled paragraphs and quotations, so their claims and figures cannot be reliably summarized without inventing details. The report does not provide readable evidence of devices already being deployed or performance results from tests.
