Lumotive, a pioneer in programmable optical semiconductor tech, announced investments from Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund and ITHCA Group.
These funds will accelerate product deployment in industrial markets and boost its global presence. The Amazon fund supports automation and industrial systems, backing Lumotive’s digital, reconfigurable semiconductor that replaces mechanical optical parts. Its LCM platform enables compact, software-defined perception systems, which are crucial for future factories, robots, and logistics.
Amazon’s support positions Lumotive among leading innovators shaping industrial AI. ITHCA Group’s investment aligns with Oman’s digital goals, helping Lumotive enter the region and benefit from regional growth.
These investments, along with financing from Stifel Bank, expand Lumotive’s Series B funding, adding to previous investments from EDOM, East Bridge, Gates Frontier, and others. As adoption grows, Lumotive aims to energize automation, mobility, and smart infrastructure.
