Eyeo

Note: German company (Cologne), not Belgian.

TLDR

Eyeo is a Leuven-based imec spin-off using color-splitting photonics technology to build ultra-compact imaging sensors, having raised EUR 15M in May 2025.

Overview

Spun out of imec, Eyeo applies photonics research to the design of imaging sensors that achieve high color accuracy and resolution in a dramatically smaller form factor. The color-splitting approach replaces traditional color filter arrays with optical structures that separate wavelengths more efficiently, improving both sensor performance and energy consumption.

The EUR 15M funding round closed in May 2025. Target markets include medical imaging, industrial inspection, and compact consumer devices where sensor size is a binding constraint.

Eyeo is part of the Leuven photonics cluster alongside Swave Photonics and benefits from the deep photonics expertise concentrated at imec.
