Overview
Sylvain co-founded Vertical Compute as a spin-off from imec, the Leuven-based world-leading microelectronics research center. The company is developing specialized compute solutions aimed at AI workloads, operating at the intersection of chip design and deep learning infrastructure.
Vertical Compute raised EUR 57 million at seed stage, one of the largest seed rounds in Belgian history and a reflection of global investor appetite for AI infrastructure plays. The imec heritage gives the company strong technical credibility and access to Belgium's deep semiconductor research base.

- La force d'un portefeuille. VerticalCompute et Aerospacelab, deux de nos sociétés participées, ont obtenu un Private Equity Awards lors de l'événement organisé par Private Capital Belgium. Un grand bravo à Sylvain Dubois Sebastien Couet (cofondateurs de Vertical Compute) et Benoît Deper (fondateur & CEO d'Aerospacelab), et à leurs teams. Chez Noshaq, nous sommes fiers d'être à vos côtés.
- We are proud that we were nominated for the Private Equity award in the category Buy out company of the year. Unfortunately we did not win, but our congratulations go out to the winner Tom Mariën of the Equine Care Group. We also congratulate the two winners in the other two categories, Benoît Deper, CEO of Aerospacelab and Sylvain Dubois, CEO of VerticalCompute.
- Today on Vertical Compute’s 2-year anniversary, we are honored and thrilled to share that VerticalCompute has been named Venture Company of the Year at the Private Equity Awards in Belgium! 🏆🇪🇺 A huge thank you to Private Capital Belgium , the jury, and our backers, for recognizing our vision to break the AI memory wall and redefine hardware architectures for the next era of compute. It was a proud moment seeing our co-founder and CEO Sylvain Dubois represent the team on stage tonight. This award is a testament to the hard work,
- AI is more than a prompt In Belgium we’ve got incredible talent Working in a Belgian state-of-the-art AI infrastructure startup 🤖 She’s been amongst the very first to join VerticalCompute, Sebastien Couet & Sylvain Dubois. Vertical Compute raised 37M€ earlier this year to build a 3D chip architecture that stacks high-density magnetic memory directly on top of processing logic to slash energy use and break through AI memory bottlenecks… That is why I am beyond thrilled to welcome Aurélie Kandazoglou to our Back-to-School Roadshow
- If you work on AI hardware, chip design or advanced compute, ITF Chip into the Future is worth putting on your agenda. On November 10 in Munich, imec will bring together speakers from across the semiconductor ecosystem, including Arne Nordmann (NEURA Robotics), Pierre Chastanet (European Commission), Jean-rené Lèquepeys (CEA-Leti), Frédérique LE GREVES (STMicroelectronics) – and Fabrizio Del Maffeo (Axelera AI) and Sylvain Dubois (VerticalCompute), founders of two imec.ventures spin-offs. The discussions will look at some of the
- Fresh back from EuroCDP - EU Chips Design Platform Accelerate in Kraków! ⚡ Sylvain Dubois and Philippe Bressy represented Vertical Compute onsite. It was fantastic to connect with so many insightful leaders, experts, and fellow innovators shaping the future of European hardware. Four days of high-caliber discussions, incredible people, and deep dives into the growth of the semiconductor ecosystem. At Vertical Compute, we are fully committed to building and scaling advanced technology in Europe. A huge thank you to the EuroCDP team
- Onward to Day 2 at Santa Clara's #AIInfraSummit! 🚀 Yesterday, our CEO Sylvain Dubois joined David Goldman (Celesta Capital), Kamran Khan (AWS), Anton McGonnell (SambaNova Systems), and Chloe Jian Ma (Epic Semi) on the Compute track to discuss the future of efficient inference hardware. A key takeaway from Sylvain on solving the memory wall without resetting silicon investments: "We take a practical approach: giving system architects a seamless memory tier on top of their existing logic so they can break memory bottlenecks without
- Memory First. Great to hear this message so clearly at AI Infra summit this morning. And exactly why Sylvain Dubois and the team at Vertical Compute are rethinking memory for AI. #AI #Memory #AIIfrastructure
