AGATE Sensors

AGATE Sensors is a Finnish deep-tech startup founded in 2024, specializing in hyperspectral sensing technology.

The company has developed the world’s first software-defined, chip-scale hyperspectral sensing platform, featuring an ultra-miniaturized sensor that captures hundreds of light wavelengths with nanometre precision. This innovative sensor is smaller than a camera pixel and enables real-time material and chemical analysis without the need for bulky optical filters. Originating from extensive research at Aalto University, AGATE Sensors combines a diverse team of physicists, engineers, and commercialization experts. Their flagship product is a broadband light sensor that can adapt its functions through software, making it suitable for various applications, including health diagnostics and object detection. The company targets multiple sectors, including defense, healthcare, consumer electronics, and industrial applications, and is actively collaborating with device manufacturers to integrate their technology into future products. AGATE Sensors has secured significant funding to support its growth and innovation in the hyperspectral sensing market.
