Guideline 6

PROVIDING COMPANIES WITH GREATER ACCESS TO PATIENT CAPITAL

The specific and innovative nature of the advanced materials sector requires longer-term investments, often with extended maturation periods before it can generate substantial returns. The sector is characterized by long and costly technological maturity cycles (10 to 20 years)[11] scaling up requires significant investments in infrastructure and process optimization.

To meet these challenges, the current financial tools must be reimagined while developing mechanisms that bring together every stakeholder in the financing chain (investors, financial institutions, government agencies, etc.) in support of high-potential businesses.

OBJECTIVE 6.1. To support high-potential businesses by creating a unit that brings together stakeholders from the financing chain.
OBJECTIVE 6.2. To develop and provide a financial tool adapted to the particularities of advanced materials.

CIRCULARITY

WattByWatt: Towards more efficient and affordable solar panels

WattByWatt is the fruit of two decades of research into perovskite. The initiative brought together scientists, engineers and business people to provide environmentally friendly energy solutions. They developed a revolutionary ink that extends the life of silicon solar panels, increasing their efficiency by at least 25%.

This innovation improves energy efficiency and reduces costs, making solar energy more sustainable. Made from predominantly recyclable materials, perovskite panels are sustainable and compatible with future regulations that promote circularity and fewer environmental impacts.
