Innsbruck, Austria, July 8, 2025 – The deep-tech company Hololight, a leading provider of AR/VR ("XR") pixel-streaming technology, has secured a €10 million investment. The funding will support the global distribution of its products and the further development of its vision to make XR pixel-streaming accessible across the entire AR/VR market.

The financing round is being led by the European growth fund Cipio Partners, which has over 20 years of experience investing in leading technology companies. Existing investors Bayern Kapital, Direttissima Growth Partners, EnBW New Ventures, and Future Energy Ventures are also participating.


Pixel-streaming is a fundamental technology for the scalability and usability of AR/VR devices and use cases. It enables applications to be streamed from central servers directly to AR and VR devices without any loss of performance – regardless of the device and with the highest level of data security. On the one hand, it enables companies to scale AR/VR applications more easily by sending data centrally from the cloud or on-premises to AR/VR devices. On the other hand, it makes future AR/VR devices even more powerful and easier to use.

 

"Our goal is to make every AR/VR application available wirelessly – as easy and accessible as Netflix streams movies," explains Florian Haspinger, CEO and co-founder of Hololight. "By further developing our core technology and launching new products, we are strengthening our pioneering role and our collaboration with partners such as NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Snap, Meta, and others. We are convinced that XR pixel-streaming will become the global standard for AR/VR deployment – ​​and will soon be as commonplace as video streaming is today."

 

Developed for the highest industry requirements

 

With its product portfolio, Hololight is already laying the foundation for companies to successfully implement their AR/VR strategies.

The latest development – ​​Hololight Stream Runtime – enables streaming of any OpenXR-compatible app with just one click. This allows existing applications to be streamed to AR/VR devices without additional development work – a crucial step for the rapid adoption of AR/VR in enterprises.

 

"Hololight's unique XR pixel-streaming technology opens up the broad application of AR/VR in industry and, in the future, also for consumers," emphasizes Dr. Ansgar Kirchheim, Partner at Cipio Partners. "With this investment, Hololight can not only further scale its existing business but also market its latest innovation, Hololight Stream Runtime, worldwide."

 

Hololight already has over 150 international customers and partners – including leading technology companies and OEMs worldwide. The company is committed to expanding its leading position in XR pixel streaming and driving the global adoption of this technology.

 

"Our vision is clear: Anyone who wants to successfully use AR/VR needs XR pixel-streaming. This is the only way to integrate applications flexibly, securely, and scalably into companies," says Florian Haspinger. "We are ready to take AR/VR to the next level."
