Deep Tech & Hardware
Belgium's deep tech sector is Driven by imec spin-offs and KU Leuven research, with Swave Photonics, Axithra, and Solhyd as active players.
Belgian deep tech benefits from the world-class research infrastructure of imec in Leuven and the engineering output of KU Leuven. Companies in this sector typically take longer to reach commercialization but carry significant IP value.
Swave Photonics works on holographic display technology. Axithra is an imec spin-off working in medtech hardware. Solhyd develops hydrogen energy solutions.
