Our take

Boasting over 30 issued patents (and many more pending), Anello Photonics is a cutting-edge technology manufacturer. Its focus is silicon photonics for IR technology, and inertial navigation which is used by aircraft, ships and spacecraft on terrain where GPS navigation is unavailable.

Anello has a large customer base for which it provides crucial services, earning it a very comfortable position. In recent years, the company has started developing an AI-based sensor fusion engine, an exciting use of machine learning technology which exemplifies the company’s forward-thinking ethos.

Anello's products are used in robotics, agriculture, defence, UAVs and autonomous vehicles, all industries that are in high demand at present. It has raised significant funding which showcases the keenness for its products, in 2026 earning $20 million from the Department of War to support the acceleration of its GPS-denied navigation services.
