AllFocal Optics, the deeptech startup pioneering nanophotonic lens technology for always-in-focus images, has raised $5.3million funding, comprised of a $3.6million (£2.8m) equity raise, led by SpeedInvest, Innovate UK grants and business angels.

The new investment, combined with trials with Jaguar Land Rover, the addition of tech veteran Dr Ash Salusbury means AllFocal Optics is on track to be the first in the world to deliver ultra-thin lenses that recreates human vision for a better and more comfortable virtual experience.
