Excited to announce a new partnership between Northwestern's Querrey InQbation Lab (The Q) and Material Impact! Material Impact has been at the forefront of #deeptech investing and has already invested in two Northwestern University #startups, Mattiq and NanoGraf Corporation, as well as Foundation Alloy, a venture emerging from the work of Northwestern’s dean of the McCormick School of Engineering. Moving forward, Material Impact will work closely with The Q to unlock additional opportunities from Northwestern’s research portfolio. (Read more at https://lnkd.in/gt-9N_Ax) Material Impact, renowned for its focus on solving large-scale challenges through cutting-edge #innovations in #materialsscience, is well aligned with Northwestern’s strengths in scientific and engineering fields. According to Clarivate™, a leading business and market intelligence firm, Northwestern represents the most highly cited faculty members in materials science and chemistry of any university in the United States. We kicked off the partnership this week with the indefatigable Ben Schlatka of Material Impact, serving as Q Executive-in-Residence, embedding him within our #ecosystem - meeting with a number of our startups (MFNS, NylaNova, Volexion, @Hiddenn-AI, Stemloop, Inc., Opera Biosciences), entrepreneurial faculty & researchers (Ed Colgate, V.S. Subrahmanian, @Ted Sargent, Mark Hersam, Will Dichtel, Sossina Haile, @David C. Dunand, Julia Kalow), and student-founders at The Garage at Northwestern University (Shane Deng, Samuel Rappin, Trevor A.) and through Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management Cleantech Club. Shoutouts across the board to Ben for his incredibly valuable insights, perspective, and advice. Thank you, Ben! Material Impact will work with our Entrepreneurial Fellows, Kellogg-Q Entrepreneurial Residents, our Trienens-Q Cleantech Accelerator, and our additional translational resources to accelerate lab to market. Thrilled for this collaboration as we build deep tech solutions for society’s biggest opportunities!

Excited to be sharing thoughts and best practices in building Deep Tech Ventures as part of Day 2 of Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH) Beyond Stage's Master Class series. Thank you Enterprise Singapore for the invitation and all the great work that you are doing for the ecosystem.

The team at Amperesand is excited to announce that we will be piloting our solid-state transformer (SST) platform at Singapore’s port. Under this collaboration we will demonstrate the capability of our SST to serve as an intelligent grid interface for fleet charging applications.   A big thank you to the team at PSA unboXed/PSA International for this exciting opportunity! Kim Pong ONG, Eddy Ng, Alvin Foo, Boon Teck Ng   PSA has long been recognized worldwide as a leader in port operations, and for those who haven’t visited Singapore, its port is an industrial wonder to behold. Singapore is an inspiring country and a great place to be pioneering modern and sustainable infrastructure solutions that have the potential for global impact!

We are excited to announce a new partnership with PSA unboXed, under which we will pilot our solid state transformer solutions at the port of Singapore for fleet charging applications. PSA unboXed is the external innovation and corporate venture capital arm of PSA International. A big thank you to the incredible team from PSA, Eddy Ng and Alvin Foo for the support and the close collaboration in making this trial possible.    Amperesand will deploy our groundbreaking #SolidStateTransformer (SST) technology at Singapore’s port. Our SST technology will provide efficient, high-power charging infrastructure for PSA’s electric vehicle fleet. The technology is future-proof with native bi-directionality, grid protection, DC/AC handling, and features built-in intelligence for energy monitoring and management. Throughout this trial, we will work closely with PSA to demonstrate the long-term reliability, safety, performance and superior economics of our technology, with the goal of expanding this initiative to scale commercial deployment.  https://lnkd.in/e59k7Pf5 Phil Inagaki, Dickson Thian, Anshuman Tripathi, Gil Jr Opina Xora Innovation, Material Impact (Christian Theriault), TDK Ventures (Marc Bouchet), Foothill Ventures (Eric Rosenblum) #decarbonization #sustainability #logistics #supplychain #climatetech #energy #ev #grid #smartgrid
