ReCatalyst received EIC funding
The spin-out company ReCatalyst from the National Institute of Chemistry, which solves the problem of rare and expensive platinum in hydrogen fuel cells, recently reached an important new milestone. With the ENABLER project, it was the first Slovenian company to win grants from the European Innovation Council (EIC) in the EIC Transition tender.
It is a project with a total value of EUR 2.5 million, in which ReCatalyst will cooperate with the excellent team of ionysis GmbH, and the developed technologies will be validated by EKPO Fuel Cell Technologies GmbH.
That it is an extremely successful project is also evidenced by the fact that it was ENABLER that was chosen among the four projects that the EIC highlighted on its website. The project will lay the foundation for more widespread exploitation of hydrogen power by enabling more efficient use of Pt as a critical raw material, they said. More details can be found HERE.
The company ReCatalyst d.o.o. at the same time, it is also approaching the realization of the first investment phase with international investors and thus begins its steep march to the market. It was founded in 2021 and in its early stages was financed by prestigious European initiatives such as the ERC 'Proof of Concept' and the EIT Raw Materials Accelerator. The company is engaged in the development, production and sale of catalysts for the next generation of hydrogen fuel cells, a technology that will represent an important option for the decarbonisation of transport.
