Creal secures Series B Prime financing with NKF
Niederer Kraft Frey (NKF) advised CREAL SA on its successful Series B Prime financing round, which was led by Carl Zeiss Vision International GmbH. NKF also advised CREAL on a strategic license agreement with ZEISS, marking a significant step in the Swiss startup’s growth trajectory.
CREAL SA, a company pioneering light-field augmented reality (AR) displays, aims to revolutionise how digital content integrates into the physical world by projecting truly 3D images with natural focal depth. The fresh funding will enable CREAL to expand into new and existing markets and accelerate the development of innovative products.
In addition to the financing, CREAL and ZEISS are collaborating to develop a digitised vision care platform. This partnership will leverage CREAL’s light-field display technology to introduce advanced tools for eye diagnostics and virtual simulations of ophthalmic and contact lenses. The goal is to modernise and streamline traditional vision tests, making them faster, more cost-effective, and user-friendly.
The NKF advisory team was led by partners Karim Piguet (pictured) and Phidias Ferrari, with senior associate Melania Sirbu, associate Tania Luminuku, junior associate Jonathan Fumeaux, and associate Boris Catzeflis contributing their expertise in Corporate/M&A and Technology law.
