​Smoltek is pioneering carbon nanostructure fabrication technology that enables us to develop process technology and application concepts to solve advanced materials engineering problems within several industrial sectors. Like, semiconductor components with smaller form factors, higher performance and lower energy consumption. Or new and improved cell materials for membranes in electrolyzers for fossil-free hydrogen production.

​

Smoltek uses a global patent strategy to protect the technology platform in all important markets. This includes core patents as well as patent protection at application level. At present, we have a patent portfolio that comprises about 110 applied and pending patents, distributed among 20 patent families, of which 70 are granted. 

​

Based on the initial core patent: Controlled growth of a nanostructure on a substrate, we have developed a complete technology platform that now will be expanded to cover multiple application areas starting with the semiconductor advanced packaging industry. The strategic and continuous development of our patent portfolio is driven by the need for disruptive materials and technical solutions that enables industrially compatible fabrication of nanostructures for various applications, like new improved cell material for electrolyzers.
 

Our innovative technology platform is protected with an IP-portfolio of 100+ patents granted and pending, as well as a significant body of know-how and trade secrets.
