Eyeo

Based in Eindhoven, Netherlands, Eyeo develops nanophotonic color-splitting technology for image sensors that captures all incoming light to overcome the efficiency limits of traditional color filters. By replacing conventional filters with nanophotonic structures, the hardware improves resolution, color accuracy, and low-light sensitivity while enabling the production of ultra-compact sensors. The organization primarily targets hardware integration across industrial machine vision cameras, consumer smartphones, extended reality headsets, and security surveillance systems. Operating with a workforce of approximately 14 employees, the enterprise secured €15 million in seed funding in May 2025 to commercialize its architecture and distribute evaluation kits to initial customers. This recent financing round was backed by institutional investors including imec.xpand, Invest-NL, High-Tech Gründerfonds, and the Brabant Development Agency. Eyeo was officially founded in 2023 by Jeroen Hoet, Alden Carracillo, Gerd van den Branden, and Jan Genoe.
