NautaDutilh assisted Innovation Industries and Invest-NL on their series D investment in Nearfield Industries. The transaction values Nearfield Industries at USD 1.6 billion, marking a major milestone in Nearfield’s development into a global leader in semiconductor metrology and inspection.
This latest round of funding was led by new investor Fidelity Management & Research Company, along with Temasek, Walden Catalyst Ventures, Innovation Industries, M&G Investments, and Invest-NL. Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) participated in this round as a new investor. Other existing investors, TNO Ventures and ING also contributed to this oversubscribed round which represents the largest ever for deep-tech in the Netherlands.
“Rounds like this take patient capital and partners committed for the long term. Good to see it come together in the Netherlands.”
