Spin offs

iPronics

iPronics positions itself as a company focused on programmable photonics applied to AI networking. Its main product is a “rack-ready” optical switch (iPronics ONE) designed for GPU clusters and data centers, capable of real-time reconfiguration to improve GPU utilization, reduce energy consumption, and scale without redesigning the entire network.

VLC Photonics

VLC Photonics is a design and testing house for photonic integrated circuits (PICs). They provide end-to-end services across the full PIC lifecycle: consulting, design, fabrication (through a network of foundries), testing, assembly, and packaging. They work on platforms such as Silicon Photonics and III-V, with applications in datacom, quantum technologies, metrology, sensing, LiDAR, and biophotonics.

Calsens

CalSens presents a value proposition focused on 24/7 monitoring of structures and processes using optical/photonics sensors (fiber optics). Their offering includes services such as structural monitoring, optical sensor development, and load testing of infrastructures, with a strong emphasis on safety, assessment, and decision-making support.

HYBPIC

HYBPIC defines itself as a deep-tech spin-off (founded in 2025) whose mission is to accelerate the industrial adoption of photonic integrated circuits through hybrid manufacturing technology. Its core message is scaling high-performance photonic solutions by bridging research advances with industrial platforms, with potential applications in quantum communications, LiDAR, sensing, and advanced laser systems.
