ZURICH, Feb. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chiral, a Swiss nanotechnology company pioneering next-generation semiconductor and quantum technologies with nanomaterials, today announced the successful closing of a $12 million seed financing round led by Crane Venture Partners, with participation from Quantonation, HCVC, and Founderful, as well as public funding from Innosuisse.

The funding supports Chiral's mission to make post-silicon computing chips based on nanomaterials manufacturable at wafer scale and to unlock the next generation of chips beyond the limits of conventional silicon.

As the semiconductor industry approaches the physical and economic limits of silicon scaling described by Moore's Law, nanomaterials such as carbon nanotube and two-dimensional materials are widely seen as a viable path to sustain performance and energy efficiency gains. In fact, the technology roadmaps of numerous industry leaders like TSMC highlight the adoption of nanomaterials. While ...
