Providing a game-changing technology for the semiconductor industry

About us

Our mission

Enabling the nano-electronics of tomorrow.

We are overcoming the industry’s current limitations by providing a simpler, faster and greener manufacturing solution.

Our vision

A new manufacturing paradigm has come. Direct printing method will reduce the number of manufacturing steps for ever more complex and miniaturized electronic components.

The advent of additive manufacturing will have various impacts:

Economical: by turning expensive muti-steps manufacturing methods into a 1-step maskless process, we are significantly decreasing manufacturing costs. Moreover, faster prototyping of new products reduces their time-to-market and accelerates their deployment on the market
Environmental: we cut down energy consumption and material waste with a 1-step process and direct deposition of materials
Strategical: our agile manufacturing solution can easily be implemented to rebuild local semiconductor production facilities, and take over control on tomorrow’s industry

Our story

We were born in the prestigious physics labs of the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) and PSL University. After a first patent on its nanoprinting technology in 2018, Hummink was created in 2020 by Amin M’Barki and Pascal Boncenne, alongside with its scientific inventors – Lydéric Bocquet, Alessandro Siria and Antoine Niguès – and Christophe Bureau, a deeptech serial entrepreneur.

The company has been supported since its foundation by Elaia Partners and PSL, with a first fundraising round of €700K in 2020. It was incubated during two years at PC’UP (ESPCI) and Agoranov.

Hummink has announced a second fundraising round of €5M in 2022, led by Sensinnovat and Elaia Partners, alongside with PSL and Beeyond, with the support of BPIFrance.
