On the west coast of Ireland, another bunch of siblings are working on their radical and bold idea, quietly building the laser backbone of space connectivity. @johnlmackey, Ruth and David Mackey are the co-founders of @mbryonics, developing some of the world’s most advanced optical systems to enable the internet in space
Imagine a world where data travels through light in space. Imagine next-generation data centres in space harnessing the power of the sun to run the most complex computations instantly, only for it to travel across a laser mesh network covering every part of the globe made up of hundreds of thousands of satellites and directly to your device. This is a world that Mbryonics is building for.
@MichaelsCoDub Re-invent the microwave with some level of intelligence built in - now that I’m game for! “Heat liquid/ meat/ veg to this temperature please” 🙏
@WindEnergyIRL An image is worth a thousand words - a long term holistic strategy is needed to preserve our natural “wild Atlantic Way” as well as to build a viable and green energy future. Floating wind farm strategy and not a knee jerk reaction to secure contracts?

@mbryonics Technology Day 2024 about to kick off on a wild windy Galway morning - excited by all the progress and learnings the team will be sharing today on advancing connectivity from and to space! #SpaceLasers
Exciting times! We are hiring across all sections & Ops- DSP, packaging, high speed digital electronics, optics, embedded s/w, Si Ph coherent transceivers, optical AIT, Bus Dev, CNC, Additive Manufacturing - DM if you want to be part of our journey in connecting the planet!
Exciting news to share - with the support of @EUeic Mbryonics will be scaling our manufacturing operations and enabling the next era of connectivity from space. #SpaceLasers#WildAtlanticSpaceCoast https://t.co/PJe12EeK3A
Very excited to be partnering with @ImmersiveSE to help forge the next generation of software engineers with industry residencies throughout their 4 year bachelor/masters. This is the way! #FutureOfLearning#SW4Space#SkyIsNotTheLimit
Thrilled with securing the EIC accelerator blended finance @mbryonics of €17.5M. This will support the establishment of a first of its kind - in the world - space laser volume manufacturing facility in the beautiful west of Ireland. More updates to follow! 🚀
Congrats to 42 companies joining the #EICAccelerator family! 👏They will receive up to €285m in total.

I was informed this was most competitive cut-off call since June ‘21 success rate was 4% vs 8% current avg; MB was the only IE company to be awarded funding in the November 2023 cut-off out of 42 selected companies; MB was the second ever IE company to reach €17.5mn in funding

Always seems to happen at the 11th hour 😅 - but delighted to see the government engage on developing a semiconductor strategy: Stakeholder consultation to inform National Semiconductor Strategy - DETE https://t.co/stMnzniuL8
Today, for the first time in half a century, America has returned to the Moon 🇺🇸.
On the eighth day of a quarter-million-mile voyage, @Int_Machines aced the landing of a lifetime.
What a feat for IM, @SpaceX & @NASA.
What a triumph for humanity.
Odysseus has taken the Moon.
