Founded in 2018 as a spin-out from the University of Cambridge, Porotech builds on more than a decade of research in gallium nitride (GaN) materials and optoelectronic devices. Powered by our proprietary PoroGaN® material platform, we began with MicroLED display technologies and have continued to push the boundaries of GaN materials, device engineering, semiconductor processing and advanced integration.

In display, Porotech pioneered innovations including all-InGaN RGB MicroLED and DynamicPixelTuning® (DPT®), demonstrating new ways to generate and control light with greater efficiency, smaller form factors and increased flexibility. These breakthroughs established more than a foundation for next-generation displays — they also built our core capabilities in micro-scale light sources, drive electronics and semiconductor integration.

Porotech has also established an 8-inch hybrid bonding platform and a comprehensive Optical I/O ecosystem, bringing together MicroLED, CMOS, optics and advanced packaging to accelerate the path from device development to system integration and volume manufacturing.

As generative AI and high-performance computing continue to scale, the industry is facing a new challenge. The bottleneck is shifting from how fast data can be processed to how efficiently massive volumes of data can be moved. Conventional high-speed electrical interconnects are increasingly constrained by bandwidth density, power consumption and thermal limits, creating a growing I/O bottleneck for AI infrastructure.

Building on our MicroLED and semiconductor technology foundation, Porotech has expanded into Optical I/O with a distinctive Wide & Slow architecture. Rather than pushing a small number of channels toward ever-higher speeds, our approach uses a large number of low-power optical channels operating in parallel to deliver higher aggregate bandwidth density, lower power consumption and greater scalability.

Today, Porotech is working with customers and ecosystem partners to extend these capabilities from display applications to AOC, Scale-Out, Scale-Up and Scale-In connectivity, as well as future NPO, CPO and chip-level optical interconnects — helping break the I/O wall for the next generation of AI infrastructure.From displays to data movement, Porotech is redefining how light enables the next generation of AI.
