INLEAP PHOTONICS porte son financement à 20 millions d’euros pour passer du laser industriel à la défense anti-drones
德国初创公司 INLEAP PHOTONICS 刚刚完成一轮由 UVC PARTNERS 领投的种子轮融资，使其累计融资额提升至约 2000 万欧元。作为 LASER ZENTRUM HANNOVER 的衍生公司，INLEAP PHOTONICS 的核心技术原本面向增材制造和材料加工领域，如今公司希望将这套“光束控制”技术进一步工业化，并把应用方向从工业激光扩展到防御反无人机场景。
这笔融资的意义在于，INLEAP PHOTONICS 正试图把实验室和工业制造中验证过的激光操控能力，转化为更具国防属性的定向能应用。虽然原文未披露本轮融资的全部投资方和具体金额拆分，但明确指出，随着这轮 seed 轮完成，公司累计融资已达到约 2000 万欧元，显示资本市场对其技术路径和商业化前景的持续支持。
从业务演进看，INLEAP PHOTONICS 的起点并不是防务，而是服务于工业激光场景，尤其是增材制造与材料处理。公司当前的战略重点，是把原本用于精密加工的高性能光束引导与控制技术，推进到更高要求的应用环境中，尤其是反无人机防御这一快速增长的市场。
German startup INLEAP PHOTONICS has closed a seed round led by UVC PARTNERS, bringing its cumulative funding to about €20 million. The company, a spin-off from LASER ZENTRUM HANNOVER, is now aiming to industrialize a beam-steering technology originally developed for additive manufacturing and materials processing, and adapt it for anti-drone defense applications.
The move marks a strategic shift from industrial laser uses toward security and defense, as INLEAP PHOTONICS seeks to turn its precision photonics expertise into a system capable of countering drones.
