EUCLYD is developing a platform spanning crafted compute, innovative memory architecture, and datacenter systems to break this efficiency wall and transform AI inference economics. EUCLYD’s long-term vision is **Abundant Intelligence**: a future in which advanced AI is no longer constrained by infrastructure cost, power availability, or geography. Founded by **Bernardo Kastrup** and **Atul Sinha** at **High Tech Campus Eindhoven**, Europe’s smartest square kilometer, EUCLYD draws on the campus’s semiconductor ecosystem and Europe’s engineering heritage. At the center of EUCLYD’s roadmap are **craftwerk**, the world’s first agentic AI silicon, and **craftwerk station CWS**, the world’s lowest-power exascale AI factory. The platform combines programmable ASIC compute, processor-memory co-design, and system-level optimization to overcome the memory and efficiency walls limiting AI performance and scalability. "AI is becoming a foundation of economic growth, scientific discovery, and national competitiveness, but its potential will remain constrained unless we fundamentally change the infrastructure beneath it," said **Bernardo Kastrup, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of EUCLYD**. "This financing accelerates our mission to make intelligence abundant through greater efficiency, lower cost per token, and broader access to advanced AI." "The next phase of AI will be defined not only by model innovation, but also by the efficiency and scalability of its infrastructure," said **Dede Goldschmidt, Senior Vice President of Samsung Electronics and Head of the Samsung Semiconductor Innovation Center**. "EUCLYD combines an accomplished team with a differentiated vision addressing constraints in AI datacenters." "Europe has the engineering talent to produce globally significant technology companies," said **Ted Persson, Partner at EQT and Co-Head of the Scaleup Europe Fund.** "EUCLYD combines deep semiconductor expertise with a mission to tackle some of the hardest constraints in AI infrastructure. That mix of European engineering depth and global ambition is what we’re here to back." "Europe possesses world-class capabilities across semiconductors, advanced manufacturing, and systems engineering," said **Peter Wennink, Chairman of the Board of EUCLYD and former President and Chief Executive Officer of ASML**. "EUCLYD can transform those strengths into a globally competitive AI infrastructure platform." The financing will expand EUCLYD’s engineering organization, accelerate its silicon and systems roadmap, strengthen ecosystem partnerships, and **prepare the company for commercial deployment across enterprise, sovereign, and hyperscale AI markets**. **ABOUT EUCLYDEUCLYD is a European semiconductor systems company developing ultra- efficient infrastructure for foundation AI models.
