Antwerp-based fabless semiconductor company TUSK IC has successfully raised €15 million in Series A funding, led by Matterwave Ventures, FORWARD.one, and the Flanders Future Tech Fund, with participation from the Schaubroeck family and existing investors. TUSK IC, founded in 2018 as a spin-out of KU Leuven's mmWave research group, specializes in developing highly integrated millimetre-wave integrated circuits and antenna modules for automotive, industrial, and satellite communications sectors.
The company's flagship technology, a set of Standard CMOS-based beamformer chips for Ka-band satellite links, enables a lower-cost, lower-power alternative to traditional specialty semiconductor materials. This investment aims to accelerate the transition from prototype chips to high-volume production, making high-performance satellite communications more affordable and scalable.
