Agate Sensors: Develops chip-scale hyperspectral sensors for real-time material analysis in consumer, industrial, and medical applications.
Based in Espoo, Finland, Agate Sensors develops miniature hyperspectral sensors that enable real-time material analysis by integrating chip-scale spectroscopy technology into everyday consumer devices like smartphones and wearables. The company's hardware captures spectral signatures across hundreds of light bands to support complex applications spanning consumer electronics, industrial IoT, medical equipment, and defense systems. To commercialize its hardware components, the enterprise recently secured €5.6 million in total funding, comprising a €4 million seed round co-led by Voima Ventures and LIFTT alongside €1.6 million in grants from Business Finland. Additionally, the firm won the Arm Flexible Access for Startups Contest, receiving up to $250,000 in technology credits to accelerate its initial manufacturing timeline for late 2025. Agate Sensors was founded in 2024 as a spin-out from Aalto University by Tommi Leino, Andreas Liapis, and Mikael Westerlund.
