Value Proposition
Materials science: developing unique nanoporous carbon processes
to reach best properties of the materials. Focusing on large-scale
adoption with the low-cost and widely available raw materials.
Technological processing: developing special nanocoating
operation to obtain the lowest resistance of the ultracapacitor cell.
Allowing to use inexpensive Aluminum foils materials for current
collector/lead.
Electrical engineering: optimizing active and passive balancing
circuits to improve modules performance and to extend lifetime.
As a result, a significant cost reduction (down to $0.005-$0.01 per F
on mass-scale manufacturing) with the highest Power Density
available on the market.

Company strategy
Improving technology process
Manufacturability is a tough process for any new R&D inventions.
Stability and lifetime are the other challenges to overcome
Patents portfolio and IP development
~10 PCT applications by the end of 2010. Several local Ukrainian
patents. The following areas are covered: materials, cells design,
processes, special equipment, new product properties. Several internal
processes are kept as “company know-hows”.
Looking for the partners in USA
North America market is one of the main high growth potential, with
Europe and Asia. We are looking either to license technology or form a
new venture in USA to startup manufacturing
