Chiral successfully raises $12M in seed financing to advance its innovative nanomaterial integration technologies for next-generation semiconductor chips.

Information on the Target

Chiral, a Swiss nanotechnology company established in 2023 as a spin-off from ETH Zurich and Empa, is at the forefront of next-generation semiconductor and quantum technologies. The company aims to revolutionize the manufacturing of post-silicon computing chips through innovative nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes and two-dimensional materials, which have the potential to exceed the limitations of traditional silicon-based technologies.

Recently, Chiral successfully secured $12 million in seed financing to advance its mission. The round was led by Crane Venture Partners, with additional participation from Quantonation, HCVC, and Founderful, alongside public funding from Innosuisse. This capital will facilitate Chiral's efforts in developing scalable and contamination-free processes for integrating nanomaterials into silicon wafers.
