Egyptian semiconductor startup InfiniLink has secured $10 million in seed funding to enhance its optical connectivity solutions for AI-driven data centres. This investment, announced on March 31, 2025, was co-led by MediaTek, a global fabless semiconductor company, and Sukna Ventures, a Saudi-based venture capital firm, with additional participation from Egypt Ventures and M Empire Angels.

InfiniLink’s optical chips target data centre bandwidth

InfiniLink specialises in designing advanced optical data connectivity chips that leverage Silicon Photonics technology. The company’s innovative integrated optical transceiver chiplet (iOTC) technology enables low-power pluggable transceiver modules and high-bandwidth-density co-packaged optical engines (CPO), which are essential for high-speed and energy-efficient connectivity in data centers.

Ahmed Aboul-Ella, co-founder and CEO of InfiniLink, expressed his enthusiasm for collaborating with MediaTek, stating, “Partnering with MediaTek not only strengthens our technological capabilities but also positions us for growth in the AI-driven data centre solutions.”

The funding will accelerate product development and commercialisation of InfiniLink’s chipsets, targeting AI infrastructure’s growing bandwidth and energy needs. The company plans to expand its engineering team, scale global operations, and meet rising demand from hyperscale and AI-focused data centre operators.

InfiniLink’s Optics niche amid AI growth

InfiniLink’s focus on co-packaged optics and low-power transceivers positions it in a niche with few regional competitors. As cloud providers and AI companies build more significant, power-hungry models, demand for such solutions is expected to grow.

George Chien, Senior General Manager at MediaTek, highlighted the strong relationship between MediaTek and InfiniLink, which has developed over the past three years and contributed to establishing MediaTek Egypt. “This investment signifies our commitment to expanding our collaboration and enhancing innovation in the region,” Chien mentioned.

Waleed Alballaa, General Partner at Sukna Ventures, noted, “InfiniLink’s optical connectivity technology perfectly aligns with our mission to support high-potential startups in the MENA region and facilitate their global expansion.” With the combined expertise of its investors, InfiniLink is well-positioned to meet the surging demand for AI-driven connectivity solutions.
