Egypt-based semiconductor company InfiniLink secures $10 million in seed investments
InfiniLink Secures $10 Million Seed Funding for Next-Generation Semiconductor Solutions
A pioneering Egyptian semiconductor startup, InfiniLink, has secured a significant $10 million seed funding round. This investment marks a significant milestone for the company and underscores its potential to revolutionize deep-tech entrepreneurship in the Middle East.
The funding round was led by Silicon Badia, with additional participation from Global Ventures, Sawari Ventures, and several angel investors with deep tech and semiconductor backgrounds. The investment will be used to accelerate product development and expand into international markets.
InfiniLink specializes in next-generation chip design and connectivity solutions, with a focus on delivering high-performance, energy-efficient semiconductor solutions for sectors like telecommunications, data centers, and IoT devices. The startup aims to bridge the technology gap and position Egypt as a leader in advanced semiconductor innovation.
One of the key areas InfiniLink is focusing on is the development of ultra-low-latency connectivity chips for AI-driven data centers. As data center revenue in Africa is projected to reach $8.96 billion in 2025, InfiniLink is well-positioned to capitalize on both African and global markets.
Nameer Khan, General Partner at Silicon Badia, stated that InfiniLink addresses one of the most critical challenges in modern computing: achieving faster, greener connectivity.
InfiniLink was founded in 2023 by Amr El-Geziry and Salma Nour. However, it's important to clarify that InfiniLink is currently an active Egyptian semiconductor startup that was founded in 2022 by Ahmed Aboul-Ella and Botros George. It specializes in designing next-generation optical connectivity chips aimed at AI-driven data centers, focusing on faster and more energy-efficient data transfer between chips and servers.
The funding round represents one of the largest seed rounds for a deep-tech startup in the MENA region to date. InfiniLink plans to initiate pilot programs with major telecom and cloud service providers by early 2026 and aims to expand its engineering team, launch its first products, and form strategic partnerships with global tech leaders.
Countries like Egypt are positioning themselves as new hubs for advanced technology development, and InfiniLink's success is a testament to this growing trend. Silicon Badia is proud to support a company with global potential that also represents a new frontier for deep-tech entrepreneurship in the Middle East. The funding round reflects a rising interest in hardware innovation among investors in emerging markets.
Investors have pointed to InfiniLink's strong technical capabilities as a key reason for their investment. The startup's mission is to position Egypt as a leader in advanced semiconductor innovation, and with this new funding, it is well on its way to achieving that goal.
