Cresco advises on EUR 15 million seed round for EyeO, a groundbreaking new imec spin-off.

We are proud to have advised imec.xpand in the EUR 15 million seed investment round of eyeo, a newly launched imec spin-off on a mission to redefine the imaging industry.

EyeO’s breakthrough technology dramatically increases the light sensitivity of image sensors, opening the door to superior imaging performance across consumer electronics, industrial vision systems, extended reality (XR), and advanced security applications. This innovation has the potential to significantly enhance camera capabilities in smartphones and beyond.

The round was led by imec.xpand and joined by a strong syndicate of investors, including Invest-NL, Qbic Fund | Venture Capital, HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF), and BOM (Brabantse Ontwikkelings Maatschappij), combining deep tech expertise and cross-border support to accelerate EyeO’s growth.

This investment not only validates EyeO’s unique market potential but also strengthens imec’s role in translating cutting-edge research into globally scalable ventures.

Congratulations to the entire imec.xpand team, the EyeO founders, and all other parties involved.

Cresco’s deal team consisted of Olivier Van Raemdonck, Dominik Verbist, and Nicholas Borgmans.
