Heliatek, the Dresden-based German company that produces ultra-light, flexible and less than 1 mm thick photovoltaic solar films, was awarded as one of the World Economic Forum’s “technology pioneers,” a selection of the world’s most innovative companies. Heliatek is a spin-off from the Technical University of Dresden and the University of Ulm. The company is a leader in the field of organic electronics energy, holding the world record efficiency of 12%. It started commercialization of its solar films in July 2014.
“We have developed groundbreaking technology and manufacturing process that will have a significant impact on the way energy is produced,” said Thibaud Le Séguillon, Heliatek CEO. “By integrating our solar films to building facades, we turn these into localized power stations.”
