France-based deep tech company Cailabs is a global leader when it comes to designing, manufacturing and selling specialised photonics solutions for free-space transmission, industrial lasers, local area networks and telecommunications, among other use cases.
An innovator in the world of 'complex light shaping', the high tech scale-up recently closed a €26 million financing round with the European Innovation Council, Bpifrance (DGA), NewSpace Capital and other investors.
We recently sat down with Cailabs co-founder and CEO Jean-François Morizur for a dive into the company's technology offering and rather particular expertise, its decade+ (quite R&D-heavy) history and recent business growth trajectory.
Morizur also discussed why the company decided to set up shop in Brittany's capital city of Rennes, its multiple interactions with the EIC (Accelerator), and much more!
