Delft-based Delmic, a company that produces correlative light and electron microscopy solutions, announced on Monday that it has secured €4M from Value Creation Capital (VCC) and the European Investment Council (EIC) Fund.
VCC injects “Intellectual Capital” into ‘groundbreaking’ innovations. It backs ventures active in high-tech (from the TechNano Fund), cybersecurity (from the Security of Things Fund), business software, data intelligence, and IT-managed services.
The EIC Fund from the European Commission invests across all technologies and verticals, and all EU countries and countries associated with Horizon Europe. The Fund also pays attention to the empowerment and support of female founders as well as the ambition to reduce the innovation divide among EU countries.
Hermann Hauser, EIC Fund Board Member, says, “This unique form of financing via EIC- combining grants and equity – is proving itself highly attractive to Europe’s most promising startups. Our investment will provide Delmic with the means to develop and scale their business in Europe.”
