XTPL convoca l’assemblea per votare l’ingresso di un fondo taiwanese da 3,5 milioni di dollari
The Polish electronic 3D printing company XTPL has convened an extraordinary shareholders' meeting for September 29, 2026. The objective is to approve the entry into the capital of a strategic Taiwanese investor specialized in deep-tech, with a transaction of PLN 12.9 million (approximately USD 3.5 million).
The plan involves the issuance of 198,462 new ordinary series Z shares at a price of PLN 65 each, reserved entirely for a single Taiwanese fund. The operation would exclude the option rights of existing shareholders.
- XTPL will issue 198,462 new shares at PLN 65 each for a Taiwanese investor
- The total investment amounts to PLN 12.9 million (approximately USD 3.5 million)
- The new partner will hold approximately 6.3% of the post-operation capital
- The contacts date back almost two years, during SEMICON Taiwan
A relationship built over two years
The relationship between XTPL and the Taiwanese investor is not recent. The first contacts date back almost two years, during one of the Polish company's first participations at SEMICON Taiwan.
According to CEO Filip Granek, the investor has followed the company's evolution throughout this period, monitoring industrial projects and the progressive commercialization of Ultra-Precise Dispensing technology.
In recent quarters, a due diligence was conducted that XTPL describes as rigorous. The analysis covered technological, commercial, and legal aspects, concluding positively.
Dilution of 6,3% for strategic access
If the assembly approves the operation, the total number of XTPL shares will rise from the current 2.949.877 to 3.148.339. The new investor will hold approximately 6,3% of the capital.
The dilution for existing shareholders will be equivalent. The Management Board argues, however, that the strategic value of the new partner justifies a direct placement rather than a proportional offer to the entire shareholder base.
The name of the fund has not been made public. The regulatory documentation simply speaks of an “Industry Investor” based in Taiwan, specialized in deep-tech technologies with a strong presence in the Taiwanese industrial and institutional semiconductor ecosystem.
The Taiwanese context: semiconductors and foreign investments
Taiwan controls over 90% of the global market for the most advanced chips, a unique position of dominance in the world economic landscape. This geographic concentration has driven Taiwanese companies to increase foreign investments by 60% between 2021 and 2025.
The Taiwanese population is about 24 million people in an area slightly larger than Maryland, yet the island is economically indispensable for the entire global economy.
This geopolitical situation has led Taiwanese companies to geographically diversify their investments. XTPL fits into this context with a strategy aimed at the Asian semiconductor ecosystem.
XTPL's Asian strategy
The operation with the Taiwanese investor is part of a series of strategic moves by XTPL towards Asian markets and the semiconductor sector.
At the beginning of 2026, the Polish company announced a strategic partnership with Manz Asia, a Taiwanese specialist in advanced packaging. During the year, other announcements followed regarding collaborations with companies in the United States, Japan, and China.
XTPL's Ultra-Precise Dispensing technology is particularly relevant for the advanced packaging sector, a critical segment of semiconductor manufacturing.
| Parameter | Before the operation | After the operation |
|---|---|---|
| Number of shares | 2.949.877 | 3.148.339 |

| Capital raised | – | 12.9 million PLN |
Possible candidates for the investment
Although the name of the fund has not been disclosed, there are several Taiwanese entities compatible with the profile described by XTPL.
One possibility mentioned is the NTHU Future Fund, announced in summer 2026. It is a collaboration between National Tsing Hua University and Top Taiwan Venture Capital, one of the nation's first VC funds.
The Future Fund will invest $34 million in seed and early-stage startups. While giving priority to Taiwanese startups, the fund also considers international entities that participate in the innovation ecosystem of the newly inaugurated University Science Park.
However, there are no official indications from XTPL that would specifically link that fund to the ongoing transaction.
