Magics has raised €5.7 million in funding to accelerate the development of radiation-hardened integrated circuits (ICs) and expand its commercial footprint in both the space and nuclear sectors. This marks a key milestone in the company’s transition from a project-based R&D model to a product-focused semiconductor company.
Investment Consortium Supporting Deep Tech Growth
The funding round brings together both existing and new investors:
- Flanders Future Tech Fund (FFTF), managed by the Flemish investment company PMV
- Invest for Job
- KU Leuven Research & Development (LRD)
- Gemma Frisius Fund
- The founders of Magics
This combination of strategic and long-term capital reinforces confidence in Magics’ proprietary RHBD (Radiation Hardening By Design) methodology, which enables the development of reliable, high-performance ICs for operation in extreme radiation environments.
From Research to Scalable Product Lines
With the new funding, Magics will accelerate the rollout of three key product lines:
- Vision Series – Imaging chips for nuclear cameras and inspection systems
- Time Series – Precision timing and clock generation ICs for space missions
- Motion Series – Sensing and control chips for robotics, actuators, and SMRs
These product lines are engineered to meet the growing need for modern, radiation-hardened electronics across critical applications in space systems and nuclear infrastructure.
Enabling Europe’s Technological Resilience
As automation and digitalization continue to shape both the nuclear and space industries, the demand for advanced electronics that maintain performance in extreme conditions is rapidly increasing. In legacy nuclear systems, outdated electronics remain a bottleneck to modernization. In the space sector, performance, integration, and radiation tolerance are essential for reliable and compact payloads.
Magics’ chip technology addresses these challenges by combining system integration, performance, and radiation resistance in a scalable semiconductor platform. The company’s solutions support the wider objective of technological independence in Europe, offering high-performance components with a stable supply chain.
Looking Ahead
This investment round is a strategic inflection point. With early functional prototypes already deployed in customer evaluations, Magics is preparing for its next phase of product scaling and international growth.
The team continues to build on its mission to enable next-generation electronics for space and nuclear applications—where failure is not an option.
