Yesterday, Sven Maihöfer had the pleasure of participating at the AXEL - Der Energie-Accelerator Energie Startup Pokal! We didn't win the Pokal, but we made meaningful connections. Meeting fellow startups from the accelerator program was great, all bringing innovative ideas to the energy sector. A huge thank you to the Green Industry Cluster and the whole AXEL Team for organizing the event - especially Christos Klamouris, who already coached us at Science4Life e.V. Looking forward to coming back to Baden-Württemberg #THELÄND

Info
The EXIST research transfer project xemX uses data-driven high-throughput experiments to discover advanced catalysts for a sustainable energy transition. The development of sustainable green energy technologies is a core element in achieving climate goals. Large-scale deployment of water electrolysis and fuel cells requires both a reduction in cost and an increase in efficiency. Currently, catalysts are a significant cost factor, as they are mostly made of precious metals, their alloys or ceramics. The high prices and low availability of precious metals hinder the implementation of green technologies. The urgently needed low precious metal or even precious metal-free catalysts can be achieved by mastering a higher chemical complexity (e.g. high entropy materials, HEM). However, the discovery of HEMs requires a lot of research and development and is still too slow and expensive. Furthermore, the discovery of new, chemically complex materials using conventional methods is almost impossible due to the immense search space and is currently largely based on a tedious trial-and-error approach. Our recent innovations in high-throughput data-driven experiments enable efficient exploration of polyelemental material systems and offer the possibility of significantly reducing both discovery time and the cost of high-performance catalysts.

We were recently featured in an interview with CHEManager Online. We had the opportunity to discuss the innovative materials we're developing for electrochemistry and how these innovations are setting the stage for new possibilities in the chemical industry. As a materials partner, we support sustainable chemical production using electrolysis processes. Fast development cycles and scalable production processes enable the delivery of customer and application-specific material solutions.

Sven Maihöfer recently participated in an inspiring panel discussion alongside a group of investors and scientists organized by the Worldfactory Start-up Center (WSC) at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. It is always fun and important to encourage STEM students to dive into the world of startups. The journey of founding a startup is not just a path to professional growth but a path to using the full potential of what we have learned and discovered in our labs as scientists. Hopefully, we were able to ignite the spark of entrepreneurship in the minds of the next generation of STEM innovators! 🔥🚀 Thanks to Annabelle Beyer, Stefan Weber, Jan Graefe, Prof. Dr. Klaus Gerwert, Prof. Dr. Axel Rosenhahn, Prof. Dr. Ralf Erdmann and Wolfgang Nestel for having a great discussion!

This week, we were part of the H2Forum. The spirits in the European H2 community are high and there is a collective drive towards tackling the remaining challenges in the hydrogen sector. We were part of engaging discussions and it was nice to see our friends from the start-up Hydrogenea deliver such a cool pitch in front of a diverse hydrogen community. And as always thank you H2UB for supporting start-ups like ours. We're grateful for the chance to contribute and learn from fellow pioneers in the field. #H2Forum #H2Forum24

Sven and Toktam just spent three days at the Hyvolution fair in Paris 🇫🇷, and what an experience it has been! This event brought hydrogen companies from all corners of the globe together. For us at xemX, it was an invaluable opportunity to connect and talk to electrolyzer manufacturers about future collaborations in developing high-performance electrodes for water electrolysis. A special shoutout to the incredible group of German startups that were part of this journey. It was heartening to see familiar and new faces with shared ambitions, all contributing to a vibrant hydrogen ecosystem. 🇩🇪 We extend our heartfelt thanks to H2UB for organizing this delegation tour.

Dara and Sven were part of the HYDROVERSE SPOTLIGHT event! They represented xemX and had an incredible time engaging with this innovative concept. Instead of startups being in the spotlight, we witnessed something different. Corporate partners - CGI, HydroHub, RWE, P3, EWG - Essener Wirtschaftsförderung, and Westenergie - flipped the script! They took the stage to showcase their readiness to collaborate with startups. We're excited about the doors this could open for startups like ours. And like always it is a pleasure meeting our friends from so many other hydrogen start-ups. Thank you H2UB for continuing to build such a cool community. 🤝 #HydroverseSpotlight

Super happy to call the Ruhr-Universität our home. The Ruhr-Universität Bochum and the Worldfactory Start-up Center (WSC) offer young deep-tech start-ups the support they need to really take off - whether through mentoring, coaching or networking with experts. Access to excellent laboratories at the Ruhr-Uni is also irreplaceable for a deep-tech start-up.
🌎💚 "Nachhaltigkeit ist uns wichtig, da sie die Basis für eine zukunftsfähige Energieversorgung darstellt. Mit unseren Werkstoffen für Wasserstoffanwendungen möchten wir dazu beitragen, fossile Brennstoffe zu ersetzen und den Weg für eine saubere und umweltfreundliche Energiequelle zu ebnen." 👉 Grüner Wasserstoff gilt als Zukunft der Energieversorgung. Unser Gründungsteam xemX möchte genau diesen Bereich weiter vorantreiben und die grüne Wasserstofferzeugung unabhängig von teuren Edelmetallen machen. Denn diese werden oft unter umweltschädlichen Umständen abgebaut und verarbeitet. Mittels einer KI-Technologie entdeckt das Start-up umweltfreundliche Alternativen für die benötigten Edelmetalle. Im Interview spricht Gründer Sven Maihöfer über die Bedeutsamkeit von nachhaltigen Start-ups und Nachhaltigkeit im Gründungsprozess und erklärt, wieso Gründer*innen auf das Thema Nachhaltigkeit setzen sollten.
