The Leibniz Institut für Festkörper- und Werkstoffforschung Dresden e.V. (IFW-Dresden) is an internationally recognized research institute in the fields of materials science and solid-state physics (www.ifw-dresden.de). Functional materials, e.g. magnetic, superconducting and thermoelectric materials and their device integration are the main focus of the IFW Institute on Metallic Materials (IMW@IFW) under the coordination of Prof. Kornelius Nielsch.
CIC nanoGUNE (nanoGUNE) is a not-for-profit research centre of the Basque government in Spain, active in nanotechnology. The mission is addressing both basic and applied research, fostering high-standard training and education, and promoting cooperation with scientific institutions and the industrial sector. It is a part of the CIC cooperative, which includes further institutes in the field of biomaterials, biology, energy, microtechnology.
The University of Pardubice, Faculty of Chemical Technology is a research and educational institute in the fields of chemistry, chemical technology and biology founded in 1950. The Institute of Organic Chemistry and Technology (IOCT) is a research department with long tradition in organic chemistry. Development and tailoring of organic substances towards specific applications across materials chemistry has been an important focus at the IOCT.
The Fraunhofer Society (FhG) is the largest organization for the development of new technologies and applied research in Germany. The FhG is a non-profit-organization helping industry to remain or become competitive through the transfer of knowledge from research to application. The Dresden department of the Fraunhofer IFAM develops sintered and composite materials and offers innovative powder metallurgical technologies. The institute has more than 10 years of experience in the research of TE materials.
TEGnology is a Danish SME company, spin-out from Aarhus University in 2011. The company specializes in designing and manufacturing TEGs with advanced thermoelectric materials. In order to provide more sustainable and cost-efficient TEGs, we expand our business to customizing self-powered IoT devices. We seek new opportunities for thermoelectric energy harvesting technology by providing consultancy services to potential customers. TEGnology launched its first commercial self-powered product - Sensever® in 2019 and has paying customers. We are working on adding more features to the Sensever-series products. TEGnology has led and been involved in several EU and Danish RD&D projects (H2020, Eurostars, and EUDP, etc.…)
