Egyptian tech company InfiniLink, specializing in semiconductors, secures $10 million in seed funding.
In April 2025, the Egyptian semiconductor startup, InfiniLink, secured a significant $10 million seed funding round, led by MediaTek and Sukna Ventures [1][5]. This investment marks a milestone for the Egyptian semiconductor sector and positions InfiniLink as a flagship startup for semiconductor innovation in Egypt.
The funding will be used to expand operations, accelerate technology development, and scale the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into InfiniLink's solutions [3]. The startup aims to innovate in next-generation chip design and connectivity solutions, an industry that has historically seen limited development in Egypt despite its large potential [3].
InfiniLink's focus is on delivering high-performance, energy-efficient semiconductor solutions. The company is currently developing ultra-low-latency connectivity chips designed to improve data transmission speeds and reduce energy consumption across large-scale network infrastructures [4].
Founded in 2023 by Amr El-Geziry and Salma Nour, InfiniLink is poised to expand its product offerings and potentially scale into regional markets, contributing to establishing a robust semiconductor ecosystem within Egypt and the broader Middle East and Africa region [3][5].
Nameer Khan, General Partner at Silicon Badia, expressed pride in supporting a company with global potential and a new frontier for deep-tech entrepreneurship in the Middle East [2]. The funding round was also supported by Silicon Badia, Global Ventures, Sawari Ventures, and angel investors [2].
InfiniLink plans to establish operations in Europe and the United States and intends to initiate pilot programs with major telecom and cloud service providers by early 2026 [1]. Countries like Egypt are positioning themselves as new hubs for advanced technology development [6].
This investment in InfiniLink reflects a rising interest among investors in hardware innovation in emerging markets. The startup's strong technical capabilities were highlighted as a key reason for the investment [2]. With this funding, InfiniLink is actively building on its chip design and connectivity technology, expanding operational capabilities, leveraging AI, and developing talent to become a leader in the Egyptian and regional semiconductor landscape [1][3][5].
