At NcodiN, we are redefining how chips communicate. We unlock a new era of ultra-fast, energy-efficient optical interconnects, powered by a breakthrough technology: the world’s smallest laser integrated on silicon. This means AI hardware that is smaller, faster and dramatically more efficient, enabling limitless scalability while consuming less power. In a world that demands speed, optical interconnects are the express lanes of the future, built for AI’s full potential. The shift is inevitable, and at NcodiN we are making it happen.

QuantumDiamonds develops and deploys world-leading quantum sensing technologies and tools for the failure analysis and metrology of new generation of semiconductor chips, enabling innovation within the heterogeneous integration and advanced packaging era. In close collaboration with leading customers across the globe, our expert teams of quantum physicists, engineers, and data scientists design metrology tools that move the industry forward.

At FERNRIDE, we believe in a future where robotics unlocks human potential to create a better world. Yet today, humans still perform repetitive, risky tasks to keep our world running. These jobs, essential yet unattractive, should be performed by robots, which still fall short. We are on a mission to change that and transform critical industries through human-centric automation. FERNRIDE delivers a comprehensive ground autonomy platform to offer scalable automation solutions across industries. They span from container terminals and yard operations via defence logistics to open-road trucking. By combining AI-powered autonomy with human oversight and modular, vehicle-agnostic hardware, we enable businesses and defence organizations to harness the full potential of automation, driving efficiency and safety. FERNRIDE was founded in 2019 following 10 years of research at the Technical University of Munich and currently has over 150 employees. We are setting the standard for autonomous logistics and advancing Europe’s technological sovereignty by delivering the first-ever fully certified autonomous trucking system in Europe in 2025. Physical AI is the biggest transformational technology of our time. Backed by €75 million in venture funding from top-tier investors and trusted by blue chip customers, such as HHLA, Volkswagen, and DB Schenker, we are on a mission to build Europe’s leader in Physical AI, on track to lead the world in next-generation industrial automation.

OCELL is a Munich-based climate-tech startup that develops local climate projects that are transparent, measurable, and effective. Our mission is to unlock the full potential of forests and make a significant contribution to climate mitigation. To achieve this, we use aerial photographs, data from various sources, and artificial intelligence to create ‘digital twins’ of forests. These provide valuable insights into forest growth, current carbon storage capacity, and other metrics, and enable us to predict optimal forest management strategies. With our state-of-the-art technology and unwavering commitment to data transparency, we ensure the effectiveness of our solutions. Currently, OCELL manages more than 700,000 hectares of sustainable forest land in Europe, North America, and South America. 🌳

University-2-Ventures is our independent successor fund of Earlybird-X, where we have built one of Europess top deep tech portfolios. We invest in (pre-) seed deep tech founders across Europe, focusing on three core verticals: AI & Novel Compute, Industrial Tech (including Aerospace) and Climate Tech. We favor complementary teams with strong technical backgrounds, often backed by years of research, and hands-on commercial and scaling experience. Our core idea is simple. We believe deep tech breakthroughs in structurally crucial sectors stem from academic research. We tap into the teams building these innovations through our ties in key European research hubs, fund them, and help them scale faster by connecting them with a network of 500+ corporates and SMEs (some LPs in our fund).
