We’re excited to announce our new deep-tech fundraising project for Innoseis Sensor Technologies!
Innoseis Sensor Technologies is developing the next generation of innovative sensing products, offering the smallest, lightest, and most power-efficient motion sensors available today. They are enabling a new wave of technologies—both existing and emerging—that require sensitive, compact, and reliable motion data.
Innoseis ST enables new frontiers in ultra-precision sensing by translating breakthrough physics into fingertip-sized, ultra-sensitive sensors. Founded on gravitational-wave research at Nikhef by CEO Dr Mark Beker and CTO Prof Dr Jo van den Brand, the company has consistently bridged scientific precision with scalable integration.
Its first commercial product—a geophone-based seismic node—captured 35 % of the global seismic-sensor market in just three years. Building on that success, Innoseis ST has miniaturised the same architecture into a MEMS accelerometer that delivers laboratory-grade accuracy, ultra-low noise, and microwatt-level power draw, positioning the company to revolutionise high-end industrial, aerospace, and defence applications.
De-risked and production-ready, these MEMS devices provide gravitational, acceleration, and navigation-class performance at low cost and with minimal power budgets, opening new opportunities in commercial space missions, low-noise measurement systems, and dual-use security technologies.
Generating infrared light isn’t difficult. But generating it on a chip — reliably, efficiently, and compactly — is a different story. Traditional IR sources rely on heating elements. They radiate across a wide range of wavelengths, consume significant power, and require filters to isolate the signals. Manageable in labs, unworkable in wearables.
Innovation tends to follow a familiar path: first, we invent something powerful. Then we shrink it. Only then does it become an everyday part of the infrastructure. But one layer is still missing in today’s technology: sensing beyond the visible.
The journey from concept to market looks very different in traditional tech compared to deep tech. While traditional tech benefits from streamlined processes and quicker iteration, deep tech ventures face longer, more complex cycles due to the groundbreaking nature of their innovations.
