Insider Brief Press release – As the global race for AI and quantum technologies accelerates, Swiss deep-tech company CCRAFT is building industrial-scale manufacturing capacity for photonic chips in Neuchâtel. The company aims to position Switzerland at the forefront of one of the most important enabling technologies of the digital economy. Photonic chip manufacturer CCRAFT has […]
The global race for AI and quantum technologies is accelerating, driving significant investment into critical enabling technologies like photonic chips.
Advanced photonic chips are fundamental to next-generation AI and quantum computing, making their expanded production a key factor in future technological leadership and supply chain resilience.
Increased manufacturing capacity for photonic chips in Switzerland reduces reliance on current chip production hubs and positions European capabilities more strongly in a critical technology.
- · CCRAFT
- · High-performance computing (HPC) sector
- · European deep-tech industry
- · Switzerland
- · Competitors with less advanced photonic chip manufacturing
- · Regions heavily reliant on traditional silicon photonics without TFLN expertise
The funding allows CCRAFT to scale its production of thin-film lithium niobate photonic chips.
This expansion contributes to establishing a more diversified global supply chain for critical AI and quantum hardware components.
Switzerland could emerge as a significant hub for advanced photonic chip development, attracting further investment and talent in the quantum and AI sectors.
