AGATE
Agate Sensors is redefining how machines perceive the world. Founded in 2024 as a spin-out from over a decade of pioneering research at Aalto University’s Department of Electronics and Nanoengineering, the company is commercialising a breakthrough in semiconductor physics that miniaturises spectral sensing to the scale of a camera pixel or smaller.
Backed by top-tier publications including Science, Nature Communications, and Science Advances, Agate’s patented technology enables the convergence of photography, video, hyperspectral imaging, biosensing, and spectroscopy into a single, ultra-compact platform. This positions Agate at the forefront of a global shift in light-based intelligence, from defence and security to healthcare, environmental monitoring, and consumer electronics.
