Research + Development

Innovating by thinking in radically different ways: We create groundbreaking technological innovations that fundamentally transform existing markets or give rise to completely new ones. One of our main challenges in this process is to reconcile conflicting ecological and economic needs for the common good.

At the Innovation Labs, research and development focus on flow cell technology, n-AI, and low-voltage energy systems. The objective is to advance sustainable energy storage and intelligent system design by combining ecological compatibility with technical and economic feasibility. These activities support the development of scalable solutions for energy, mobility, and digital infrastructures.

As we adapt our technologies to existing products and product environments, we acquire new insights, gain new knowledge about materials and test unconventional methods. We ensure that our application-related insights are systematically verifiable, evaluate additional technical options and help our innovation partners put this knowledge into practice for use in series production.

Application-oriented research focuses on adapting nanoFlowcell® technologies to diverse systems and operating environments. This includes material evaluation, system testing, and validation of new approaches to ensure technical feasibility and scalability for industrial implementation.

We bring product innovations to series production readiness. Our virtual-reality DigiLab allows us to design development processes that are lean, cost-effective and efficient. Many years of development work have gone into our AI and software tools for the digitalization of analogue product experiences. With digital prototyping and testing, we can speed up the concept phase and avoid costly mistakes in the product development process.

Production research focuses on transferring nanoFlowcell® technology from prototyping to scalable manufacturing. Emphasis is placed on process validation, quality control, and system integration to enable reliable series production for energy and mobility applications.

Prototyping research leverages DigiLab digital environments, including simulation and virtual modeling, to design and validate nanoFlowcell® systems. Advanced computational tools enable rapid iteration, reduce development complexity, and support efficient transition from concept to scalable implementation.
