Hosted at the IEMN, the startup Voltify specializes in the design and manufacture of components for energy micro-storage, namely batteries and capacitors. The technological breakthrough (inspired by living organisms, editor’s note) proposed by the young company is fully in line with the strategy of European sovereignty in highly strategic sectors (health, defense, space, energy, and environment). Now protected by six patents families, this technology is based on an original paradigm of a three-dimensional battery, precise and calibrated to be compatible with the microelectronic industry, and therefore enabling large-scale production.

Among the various targeted applications, the startup aims to offer its breakthrough technology for the power supply of implantable medical devices used for the monitoring of chronic pathologies, and thus significantly improve the life course of these people suffering from these diseases.

Recently honored by the prestigious i-Lab state innovation competition, operated by BpiFrance and ADEME as part of the France 2030 plan for its rechargeable micro-battery project, Voltify is committed to accelerating with an open-innovation approach and, thus, positioning itself as a central player in its ecosystem. Voltify’s vision is to paves the way of new technological era for empowering micro-electronic devices.
