Charleston, SC – April 8, 2025 – Eyeo, an imec-incubated startup pioneering a photonics-based approach to image sensing, has appointed Wired Island International to lead its PR, media relations, and communications strategy as it emerges from stealth mode. The collaboration comes at a pivotal moment as Eyeo introduces its disruptive technology to the market and positions itself as a next-generation leader in imaging innovation.
Eyeo is revolutionizing image sensing with its nano-scale waveguide technology that replaces the Bayer filter, capturing all incoming light to deliver sharper images, less noise, higher resolution, and better performance across device classes. From smartphones to machine vision systems, Eyeo’s photonics-based approach has the potential to upend conventional CMOS image sensor design and redefine what’s possible in digital imaging.
“As we come out of stealth, telling our story the right way is just as important as the breakthrough technology itself,” said Jeroen Hoet, CEO of Eyeo. “Wired Island understands the dynamics of deep tech markets and has a strong track record of helping innovators translate complex science into compelling narratives. They are the ideal partner to help us build visibility, credibility, and momentum as we enter this next phase.”
“For emerging companies, earned media and thought leadership are critical to establishing credibility,” said Mike Sottak, Principal at Wired Island. “Eyeo is moving coming out with a truly disruptive story—one that goes far beyond the imaging industry. Our mission is to ensure that Eyeo’s voice is amplified across the right channels, helping it capture attention, shape the narrative, and stake its claim as a leader in the future of image sensing.”
The first stage of the engagement resulted in widespread international press coverage for eye in the electronics trade, scientific, photography, start-up and business press. In total, more than 50 original articles were written about the company, setting the stage for the next step in its commercialization journey.
