Volantis raises $88M for a photonic memory layer built for AI inference
Volantis will use gallium arsenide lasers for its photonic memory fabric rather than indium phosphide, the platform behind the Netherlands' EUR 153M pilot line and most of Europe's photonics strategy

Volantis has raised $88M to build a photonic link between AI compute and memory, using gallium arsenide lasers to avoid constraints in indium phosphide. The Netherlands is building a EUR 153M indium phosphide pilot line at Eindhoven that opens in 2027, the same year Volantis plans to ship.
Volantis has raised $88M to put light between AI chips and their memory. Its design deliberately routes around indium phosphide. Europe has committed EUR 153M to a pilot line that makes exactly…
