Delvitech Secures $40 Million Series B to Scale AI-Powered Optical Inspection Globally
Delvitech, the Swiss deep‑tech company pioneering AI‑native automated optical inspection (AOI) systems for advanced electronics manufacturing, has successfully closed a $40 million Series B investment round, underscoring growing investor confidence in its cutting‑edge technology and ambitious global expansion plans. The financing marks one of the most significant recent deep‑tech funding events in Switzerland and positions Delvitech to accelerate its strategy for scaling production, expanding internationally and driving innovation in predictive inspection technologies.
Founded in 2018 by Roberto Gatti, Delvitech has developed a proprietary inspection platform that blends Swiss‑engineered hardware with self‑learning neural networks capable of identifying defects across a wide range of materials and assembly conditions. The company’s AI approach goes beyond traditional inspection by enabling predictive analytics that anticipate errors before they occur, offering electronics manufacturers greater precision, speed and cost efficiencies across quality control workflows.
In the recent funding round, Delvitech raised $40 million, with strategic backing led by EGS Beteiligungen AG, the investment arm of the Ernst Göhner Foundation, alongside participation from CREADD Ventures and several prominent European private investors. This diversified investor base reflects strong belief in Delvitech’s scalable business model and its potential to become a key provider of intelligent inspection solutions to industries ranging from automotive and telecommunications to industrial automation, defense and IoT device manufacturing.
EGS Beteiligungen AG’s leadership in the round highlights the foundation’s focus on long‑term investments in deep‑tech innovation with Swiss roots, and its commitment to supporting companies capable of driving technological leadership on a global stage. The participation of CREADD Ventures — an investor since Delvitech’s earlier stages — underscores continued confidence in the company’s trajectory and reinforces the partnership between seasoned investors and the startup’s executive team.
Delvitech plans to deploy the fresh capital toward several strategic priorities designed to propel its next growth phase. A central objective is the establishment of a new manufacturing facility in India by 2026, with a long‑term target of producing over 200 inspection machines per month by 2030. This ambitious production plan reflects Delvitech’s intent to broaden its global footprint and deliver high‑performance AOI systems to major electronics markets in Asia, Europe and North America.
In addition to scaling manufacturing, Delvitech aims to expand its engineering and R&D capacity to accelerate the development of next‑generation inspection solutions. These include enhancements to its proprietary HORUS optical heads — capable of ultra‑fast image capture and micron‑level resolution — and the introduction of predictive software tools that move quality control beyond reactive defect detection toward proactive error prevention. Such capabilities are expected to appeal to manufacturers seeking to minimise waste, boost production throughput and uphold stringent quality standards in increasingly complex assembly environments.
Delvitech also continues to strengthen its leadership and technical advisory team, including the appointment of AI pioneer Prof. Jürgen Schmidhuber to its board of directors. Schmidhuber — a recognized expert in artificial intelligence and neural networks — brings deep academic and industry insight into the strategic direction of Delvitech’s platform development and innovation roadmap.
The company’s headquarters remain in Switzerland, but Delvitech operates subsidiaries in India, the United States, Germany and Italy, positioning it well to serve global customers and partners across diverse markets. With sales expected to grow by 400 percent by the end of 2025, this latest funding round comes at a moment of rapid market momentum for the company and its industry‑leading technology platform.
Delvitech’s AOI systems are already being deployed by electronics manufacturers that demand high reliability and precision in quality assurance, such as producers of printed circuit boards and advanced electronic assemblies. The company’s self‑learning AI technology continuously adapts to evolving production dynamics, reducing the need for manual programming and enabling faster deployment across different production lines.
By combining deep learning with robust hardware engineering, Delvitech seeks to transform quality control from a reactive checkpoint into a proactive engine of efficiency and defect prevention. Investors’ confidence in this vision is reflected in the oversubscribed nature of the Series B round and the strong backing from both institutional and private partners.
As Delvitech enters its next growth chapter, the company is poised to expand its global reach, deepen its technological capabilities and support manufacturers in overcoming some of the most persistent challenges in inspection and quality assurance. With a strengthened financial foundation and clear strategic milestones ahead, Delvitech’s funding success underscores the growing importance of AI in industrial automation and the value of innovative approaches to optical inspection in the digital age.
