Lighthouse Tech is also proud to announce it has been awarded a grant from the Toyota Mobility Foundation for the third year in a row – an exceptionally rare achievement. This continued recognition underscores the company’s consistent innovation and mission-driven impact.
The company is currently raising funds through a seed round targeting CHF 1.5 million, with CHF 600,000 already committed. The round is set to close in Q3 2025, and will support market expansion, production scale-up, and further R&D.
“We are reshaping the way assistive technology is perceived and used,” said Franco Burlando, CEO of Lighthouse Tech. “TAMI® does not just offer protection and mobility – it offers independence, design, and confidence. This funding round and the support from Toyota empower us to bring that vision to life.”
Stephan Moerker, Director of Products & Services, Swiss Association for the Blind (SZBlind), commented: “Introducing TAMI® in Switzerland marks an exciting step forward for inclusive innovation. The partnership with Lighthouse Tech aligns perfectly with our mission, and we are confident that this elegant, functional device will positively impact the daily lives of our community.”
“Bringing TAMI® to the German market brings a unique solution to a long-standing need,” added Thomas Wahr, Sales Manager, Reinecker Vision GmbH. “There is a strong demand for assistive technologies that are both effective as well as elegant, and TAMI® fills that gap beautifully. We are proud to support its rollout across Germany.”
