“With this new investment round, Delmic has found two very strong partners. VCC brings a wealth of experience in the deep tech space with over 20 years of portfolio management. EIF brings a broad network and we are proud to be one of the few companies that were selected for its equity investment. This investment round allows us to scale our service, sales, and application activities, thereby rolling out our unique products to a wider audience.”

-Sander den Hoedt, CEO at Delmic.

We are happy to announce that Delmic has secured 4 million euros in funding from Value Creation Capital and the European Investment Council (EIC) Fund to further develop its user-friendly and powerful solutions for light and electron microscopy. This investment will help Delmic accelerate product development and expand its international sales.

Since its founding in 2011, Delmic has created powerful and easy-to-use microscopy systems for researchers who are looking to view the nanoscale. Pushing the boundaries of technological innovation while staying focused on improving usability and accessibility for researchers has been at the forefront of Delmic's long-term goals. 

Our early successes were the result of collaborations with partners in the field, such as the Charged Particle Optics group of the Delft University of Technology, NWO-Institute AMOLF. Together, we developed the correlative light and electron microscopy system SECOM and the cathodoluminescence detector SPARC Spectral.

Delmic continues to reimagine workflows in electron microscopy to make techniques faster and more automated, thus making them easier and more accessible for researchers who are looking to view the nanoscale. Today, our solutions are used across a variety of applications in life science and material science research. Our CRYO solutions enable contamination-free workflows for cryo-ET, while our Cathodoluminescence portfolio helps researchers understand the optical properties of materials and devices at the nanoscale. Our Fast Imaging division breaks down the boundaries of research by offering unprecedented volumes of data.

At Delmic, we envision a future in which the cost per sample (or per mm2) of nanostructural data has drastically fallen, allowing for democratized access to data. With this access, researchers can impact anything from a renewed understanding of disease to the next generation of more energy-efficient devices. To make this vision a reality, we are committed to advanced automation that makes it much easier to run electron microscopes continuously.

This new investment round allows Delmic to scale its sales, service, and production teams while also allowing continued investment in further improvements to its product portfolio.

“Delmic has successfully developed innovative products for life sciences and the industry with a team of dedicated professionals with profound domain expertise. With the new investment, Delmic will be able to scale her business with a larger sales & marketing team and an extended partner network. We are excited to welcome Delmic to our portfolio and contribute to its prosperous future.”
