TiHive, a company focused on terahertz-AI vision systems, has raised €8 million ($9.3 million) to accelerate growth and expand internationally. The company’s technology combines industrial-grade, silicon-based terahertz imaging devices and AI to enable real-time, non-destructive, see-through quality and process control on production lines. The company said the funding will support the commercialization of its industrial vision solutions, reinforce international deployment — particularly in hygiene, textiles, recycling, agriculture, and space industries — and accelerate R&D. The company aims to develop a new generation of terahertz chips with extended frequencies and advanced AI features.

TiHive’s systems are integrated directly on production lines and connected to the machines and to the cloud, measuring the quality and the process stability of thousands of products every minute. The technology platform uses CMOS technology, paired with advanced THz optics and an AI-powered software platform. By integrating terahertz technology on CMOS chips, TiHive’s approach enables miniaturization, scalable mass production, low energy consumption, and high-speed performance. Founded in 2017 and currently employing 14 people, TiHive is backed by support from the EIC Accelerator and Bpifrance. Karista, a deep-tech hardware specialist, and Wind, a deep-tech venture capital fund, participated in the funding.
