Aluvia Strengthens Ecosystem Collaborations with PhotonDelta Support
16 October 2025Enschede, the Netherlands – 16 October 2025 – Aluvia Photonics, a leading developer of Aluminium Oxide (AlOx) photonic integrated circuits (PICs), has secured new funding from PhotonDelta to expand its technology and deepen collaborations within the PhotonDelta ecosystem. The support strengthens Aluvia’s ability to accelerate ongoing projects and explore new opportunities with customers and suppliers in the region. The investment marks an early step in a broader partnership that will enable further developments in the time ahead.
Aluvia’s AlOx platform brings compact, scalable waveguides and amplifiers to the Photonic Chip ecosystem, targeting telecom, quantum, and UV-visible applications where conventional solutions are limited. Complementary to existing Photonic Chip technologies, Aluvia can be combined seamlessly with other platforms, helping them gain new functionality and extend their performance. “Boost your PICs with Aluvia’s actives” captures this value proposition, highlighting how the technology strengthens the ecosystem and opens new opportunities for designers and manufacturers alike.
“We’re delighted to have Aluvia in the PhotonDelta ecosystem and now also as one of our promising startup portfolio,” said Erwin Holtland, Investment Manager, PhotonDelta. “We’re excited about the opportunities now possible with their technology and see strong potential across our portfolio. The partnership acts as both a multiplier and an accelerator for our companies, while supporting Aluvia’s growth and helping them scale their products.”
“The Netherlands has been the fastest-growing market for our MPW product in recent years, with design and packaging collaborations in the region playing an important role in serving our global customer base,” said Steve Stoffels, CEO of Aluvia Photonics. “With PhotonDelta’s support, we can do even more – and do it faster – expanding local capabilities, strengthening the ecosystem, and accelerating innovation across the photonics sector.”
PhotonDelta’s funding provides Aluvia with a strategic boost as the company prepares for a new investment round in 2026 aimed at scaling up manufacturing. The support aligns with PhotonDelta’s mission to strengthen the Dutch integrated photonics ecosystem and attract private co-financing for industrial-scale development.
