Silicon Line GmbH, a Munich, Germany-based developer of ultra-low-power optical link technology for consumer electronics as well as commercial and industrial markets, raised €8.2m in Series B financing.
The round, which brought total funding to €23m, was led by Capital-E, with participation from LRM, Munich Venture Partners and Unixtar.
The company intends to use the funds to ramp-up production of its optical modules – tiny circuit boards inside cable connectors; upgrade its module factory located in Hasselt, Belgium, hire additional design engineers; and open local customer support offices in Asia.
