nanoCaps We make leading edge supercapacitors for the global market using the best electrode in the world. nanoCaps has exclusive rights to all IP from this research.

A university start-up, nanoCaps was founded Spring 2021 by researchers from the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN). The technology base for the company is the result of more than 15 years of research at USN and is covered by a portfolio of strong patents. We are now commercialization this technology by developing a first portfolio of unique products with record high sheet capacitance, low series resistance and high energy density. nanoCaps is co-located with University of South-Eastern Norway in the hearth of Norway’s Electronic Coast on Campus Vestfold, Horten. Research achievements:
We have developed Supercapacitors based on interconnected crosslinked carbon nanotubes on flexible foil providing World Record specific capacitance of ~2.5 F/cm² and equivalent series resistance less than 100 mOhm/cm². We have developed Supercapacitors based on interconnected crosslinked carbon nanotubes on silicon grass providing specific capacitance of ~1 F/cm². We have designed a microfabrication process to fabricate 3D MEMS supercapacitors for both on-chip and off-chip application.

A busy and inspiring day at Hello Tomorrow Global Summit in Amsterdam.

Today has been packed with investor meetings, technology discussions, networking, and the opportunity to present nanoCaps both at our booth and on stage.

The strongest takeaway from the day has been the level of interest in our technology. We have had many valuable conversations with investors, industrial partners, and fellow deep-tech innovators from around the world.

What has been particularly exciting is seeing how breakthrough innovations in very different sectors often face similar challenges at the material level. Many of the discussions today reinforced our belief that advanced nanomaterials can play an important role in enabling the next generation of technologies.

A highlight of the day was pitching nanoCaps to investors and sharing how our patented carbon nanotube electrode technology can deliver higher performance through a scalable and industry-friendly manufacturing approach.

As we continue our commercialisation journey, we are currently raising €7 million to scale production, strengthen industrial partnerships, and accelerate market adoption.

Thank you to everyone who visited booth #24, attended the pitch, or took the time to discuss future opportunities. Looking forward to another exciting day tomorrow

nanoCaps celebrates five years of research, belief and persistence

On March 21st, 2026, nanoCaps reached its first five year anniversary. For us, this is an important milestone and a moment to look back with gratitude.

The story started long before the company was established. Research on supercapacitors at the University of South Eastern Norway began around 2010, and in some areas even earlier. Over the years, the work moved forward through testing, setbacks, new ideas and steady scientific progress.

A key breakthrough came in 2019, when the team achieved around 1,500 mF/cm². That result showed that the technology had real commercial potential. It also became the basis for establishing nanoCaps.

Professor Xuyuan Chen, Professor Per Ohlckers and postdoc Kang Du were central in this phase. After the breakthrough, they agreed to build nanoCaps and move the technology from research towards industrial use. An important milestone followed when the AluCNT patent was approved on October 15th, 2020.

Many others also contributed over the years, including Pai Lu, PhD candidates, master’s students and other collaborators at USN. Their work helped build the scientific foundation nanoCaps stands on today.

So far, around NOK 40 to 50 million has been spent on the journey behind nanoCaps, depending on how it is counted. That reflects both the scale of the effort and the patience required to build deep tech.

We are proud of how far we have come, and grateful to everyone who helped make it possible. The first five years were about proving the technology. The next years will be about scaling it.
