Seeo, Inc

Seeo was founded in 2007 by researchers from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), including Nitash Balsara, Hany Eitouni, and Mohit Singh. The company was built on the foundation of a nanostructured solid polymer electrolyte technology developed at LBNL. This technology, later branded as "DryLyte," utilized a block copolymer that combined safety, non-flammability, and high energy density. The solid electrolyte allowed the use of lithium-metal anodes, which offered significantly higher theoretical capacities compared to conventional graphite anodes.

Meta-Rosetta

Meta-Rosetta (also written as MetaRosetta) is an early-stage spinout of Taiwan's National Central University, focusing on providing software and services for the design of metasurface optics (meta-optics) including metalenses. The startup has an electronic design automation (EDA) tool for meta-optics, although has yet to decide on its final business model for the tool. IDTechEx met Meta-Rosetta's CEO, Dr. Wei-Lun Hsu, at Neo-Functional Materials 2025 in January 2025.

Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises (B&W) is an American energy technology and service provider. This company profile focuses on Babcock & Wilcox's chemical looping technology for the production of syngas and hydrogen from various feedstocks, including natural gas and biomass.

Autonomous Vehicle Industries Now and in 10 Years

Over the past couple of years, IDTechEx has reported on the emergence of commercial robotaxi services but has always needed to caveat this with the fact that they have been heavily restricted. Well, in 2024, the shackles are coming off, and the industry is getting ready for take-off.

Exploring the Opportunity for Emerging PFAS Destruction Technologies

Concerns over incumbent strategies for PFAS waste management have created opportunities for novel PFAS destruction technologies to potentially disrupt the status quo. Universities and independent start-ups are developing numerous different destruction technologies.

IonQ

IonQ is developing trapped ion quantum computers.

Swaayatt Robots

Swaayatt Robots is an autonomous driving software developer that is using India as a development and proving ground. India provides a wide variety of challenging scenarios that push the limits of autonomous driving capabilities. Showing that a system works in India shows that it can work almost anywhere.
