Overview
- The €15 million round was co-led by KBC Focus Fund, Cap Horn and Bpifrance, with Elaia Partners, Sensinnovat, Beeyond, the French Tech Seed fund under France 2030, and the European Innovation Council Fund participating.
- Hummink’s High-Precision Capillary Printing uses an ink-based, sub‑micron “smallest fountain pen” approach to deposit metals and functional materials for precise defect repair.
- Proceeds will fund an industrial printing module, integration into semiconductor and OLED display fabs, expansion in Asia and the U.S., workforce doubling by 2026, and scaling of proprietary conductive inks.
- The NAZCA demonstrator is already in labs across Europe, Asia and the United States, including Duke University work published in Nature Electronics on recyclable sub‑micrometre printed electronics.
- Targeting OLED lines that reportedly discard up to 30% of output, the company says its tools could raise yields by around 10% and cut costly waste.
