| VEIR is a company developing a new approach to using high-temperature superconductors for electricity transmission. Its passive evaporative cryogenic cooling delivers 20 times the cooling power per kilogram of nitrogen flow compared to mechanical subcooling. | $110M / Series C / Oct 08, 2026 | ||
| Electrification of transportation, greater energy efficiency and grid modernization require advances in power electronics and power conversion systems. Magnetics have presented a critical limitation in advancing these technologies. With the ability to custom engineer the features of magnetic cores, CorePower Magnetics’ components represent a stepchange in efficiency and power density. CorePower Magnetics’ patented combination of advanced manufacturing processes and novel materials results in up to 10x reductions in weight, 5x reductions in volume, and 50% reductions in losses with no rare earth metals required. Combined with our lower operating temperatures, these benefits lead to higher current capabilities, increased electric vehicle ranges, and longer component lifetimes. | $10.6M / Seed / Sep 08, 2026 | ||
| Superlight develops purpose-built commercial vehicles designed to change the economics and physics of middle-mile logistics. The company engineers trucks from first principles using a lightweight aluminium monocoque, composite materials, and aerospace-inspired structural design instead of traditional steel ladder chassis. Its platform replaces manymechanical components with independent electric drive, a digital electrical architecture, and software-defined control systems. Superlight integrates an AI-driven fleet platform called ALIS that uses real-time vehicle data to predict maintenance, schedule service, and optimise uptime. The Superlight Production System applies modular, bonded aluminium manufacturing and a digital twin called SuperVisor to monitor assembly quality. The vehicles aim to increase payload volume, reduce energy cost per kilometre, and lower operational risk for commercial fleets. | $21M / Series A / Jun 22, 2026 | ||
