Egypt Ventures and M Empire Angels also contributed to the funding, reflecting a growing interest in supporting tech innovation in Egypt.

Ahmed Aboul-Ella, co-founder and CEO of InfiniLink, expressed enthusiasm about the strategic partnership with MediaTek. He indicated that this collaboration will significantly accelerate the commercialization of their innovative technologies, potentially transforming how data centers optimize their optical connectivity.

George Chien, MediaTek’s senior general manager, shared his excitement, noting a successful partnership over the past three years, which has deepened with the establishment of MediaTek Egypt. He anticipates more collaborative growth in the region.

Sukna Ventures also expressed pride in their investment, emphasizing the importance of InfiniLink’s unique technology in addressing the demanding energy requirements of AI in data centers. General Partner Waleed Alballaa highlighted their commitment to empowering high-potential startups from the MENA region, showcasing a dedication to fostering innovation.

As InfiniLink gears up to scale its product development and expand on a global level, it is clear that the startup is poised to meet the surging demand for efficient AI connectivity solutions. The implications of this development go beyond borders, promising a brighter future for the tech industry in Africa and beyond.
