Empa Spin-Offs BTRY AG and Ionic Wind AG Present Innovations at CES 2026 in Las Vegas
At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Empa spin-offs BTRY AG and Ionic Wind AG are showcasing advanced technologies addressing challenges in electronics and energy storage. BTRY AG introduces its ultra-thin solid-state lithium-ion batteries, measuring 0.1 mm thick, capable of charging in one minute and operating safely at temperatures up to 150°C.
This technology supports devices like smart labels and wearables. Ionic Wind presents the first ionic-wind-powered Lenovo ThinkPad T14, utilizing solid-state cooling technology that eliminates traditional fans for silent operation.
The third spin-off, Perovskia Solar, is developing inkjet-printed solar cells from perovskite materials. The collective presence of these Swiss startups at CES emphasizes Switzerland's growing influence in hardware deep-tech and the translation of research into market-oriented technologies.
