Microamp, a Polish deep-tech startup, has secured €2.5 million in grants and €4 million in equity from the European Innovation Council (EIC) Fund, totalling €6.5 million, to develop its Any-G mmWave AI-RAN wireless platform.

Microamp, founded in 2020 by Dawid Kuchta and Marcin Góralczyk, is a Warsaw-based deep-tech company specializing in 5G mmWave wireless solutions. The company claims to be the first in the world to successfully commercialize 5G mmWave networks, designing and delivering end-to-end networks with ultra-high capacity and near-zero latency, powered entirely by its own purpose-built hardware and software.

One Platform for Every Generation

Microamp's solutions is the Any-G platform, a fully software-defined system that supports 5G, 6G and future standards from a single architecture. Instead of hardware overhauls, the platform evolves through software updates or swappable RF modules. The result is a fivefold reduction in infrastructure ownership costs, with future capabilities including Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) and non-terrestrial network (NTN) integration for seamless connectivity with satellite layers.

Co-founders Dawid Kuchta and Marcin Góralczyk have spent the past several years building Microamp around a niche few European companies operate in: 5G mmWave infrastructure. While Kuchta oversees the company's commercial strategy as CEO, Góralczyk leads technology development as CTO, aiming to turn the Warsaw-based startup into a recognised player in next-generation wireless connectivity.

What the €6.5M Actually Covers

European Innovation Council (EIC) is the European Union's flagship innovation program designed to identify, develop, and help deep-tech companies grow. The programme supports startups working to turn promising research into commercial products, primarily focusing on deep-tech startups and SMEs. It operates with a multibillion-euro budget, and here the total financial backing is distributed as a €2.5 million EIC grant and €4 million equity from the EIC Fund.

The funding comes as mmWave spectrum continues to open up across Europe. Yet access to spectrum alone does not guarantee technological independence. Much of the equipment powering modern telecom infrastructure is still designed and manufactured outside the continent, leaving European operators reliant on foreign suppliers.

Microamp argues it offers a different path. The company's intellectual property, engineering and manufacturing are all based within the European Union, giving it a rare position in in a market dominated by a handful of large international companies.

"The spectrum is opening across the EU, but without European technology, critical infrastructure will be controlled and dominated by external incumbents," said Dawid Kuchta, co-founder and CEO of Microamp.

For policymakers increasingly focused on technological resilience and supply-chain security, companies like Microamp represent more than a commercial opportunity. Microamp is not an isolated case. Poland has been steadily building its position in European tech, most recently when the Polish state became a shareholder in ElevenLabs through a $11M investment via Vinci, the investment arm of state-owned bank BGK.

Companies like Microamp are part of a broader effort to ensure that the next generation of wireless networks is built not only in Europe, but also by European technology firms.
