Circuits Integrated Hellas Secures Funding for Satellite Communication Technology

ATHENS, Greece, Sept. 14, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Circuits Integrated Hellas, a Greek company at the forefront of advanced satellite communication technology, has secured pre-seed funding from Evercurious VC, an Athens-based venture capital firm. The investment, which closed in July, will support the company’s commercialization efforts for CI-ONE, its first semiconductor product family.

CI-ONE is a family of small-form-factor integrated power amplifier (PA) + single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch modules designed for Ka-band applications. These modules combine functions that are traditionally implemented as discrete components into a single compact, surface-mount module. This integration reduces the size, cost, component count, and design complexity of next-generation satellite communication systems, making them approximately three times smaller, up to 50% less costly, and up to 25% more efficient than conventional discrete PA + SPDT implementations.

The funding will help Circuits Integrated Hellas advance CI-ONE toward market availability. The product family is planned for general availability in the fourth quarter of 2026, with early engagement and sampling programs beginning ahead of the general release. Paolo Fioravanti, the co-founder and CEO of Circuits Integrated Hellas, expressed that the investment from Evercurious VC is crucial as the company transitions from a provider of advanced design services to a product company. He stated, "Evercurious understands both the opportunities and the challenges involved in turning differentiated deep technology into commercial products. Their technology focus, early-stage expertise, and commitment to building the deep-tech ecosystem in Greece and across Europe align extremely well with our own ambitions."

Alex Vamvakas, a Partner at Evercurious VC, highlighted the importance of the team behind CI-ONE. "Through months of conversations and a demanding due diligence, Paolo and Giannis never reached for the easy answer. Every hard question about the technology, the roadmap or the risks came back with honesty and depth, and that is how trust is built," he said.

Circuits Integrated Hellas, headquartered in Athens, Greece, develops advanced semiconductor technologies for space and satellite communications, merging III-V materials and silicon in proprietary 3D IC stacks for flat-panel antennas (FPAs). The company is focused on miniaturization and cost efficiency while maintaining uncompromised performance, enabling scalable next-generation satellite connectivity platforms.

Evercurious VC is an early-stage deep-tech venture capital fund, founded by engineers turned investors. The fund invests at the frontier of hardware and software, backing visionary founders across Europe who leverage deep scientific and technical expertise to build novel, defensible technologies poised to tackle some of the world's most pressing challenges.

CI-ONE targets applications including commercial high-throughput satellite communications, maritime and in-flight connectivity, defense multi-band systems, and emergency response. The product family serves as a stepping-stone in Circuits Integrated Hellas’s broader strategy to develop increasingly integrated semiconductor solutions for next-generation connectivity applications.
