From researcher to entrepreneur

The foundation and establishment of a successful company requires more than an innovative idea or technology.

As a partner of start-up companies, Fraunhofer institutes, the industrial sector and investors, we support foundation-willing scientists from the Fraunhofer environment with our know-how and utilize our network for a successful technology transfer.

eZelleron GmbH

  • Spin-off Profile


    eZelleron

    Batteries and accumulator systems that regularly need to be connected to the mains for regeneration do not come up to the growing demands on portable energy storages in a satisfactory way. To solve these problems, there is worldwide research in the field of fuel cells underway that provide electric energy entirely independent of the mains, on the move, and efficiently.

    With this technology, eZelleron GmbH - a spin-off from the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS - made its breakthrough. Since 2008, the Dresden based company has been developing low-emission energy sources for mobile power supply in the form of fuel cells. The eZelleron technology has the potential to produce electric and environmental-friendly energy through small fuel cell units entirely independent of the mains and without prior charging. In contrast to competitive products, these fuel cell units with a refill cartridge may not only be used with expensive hydrogen but also with easily available fuels such as propane, butane, diesel, kerosene, or camping gas. By integrating the eZelleron technology into real products, many people can benefit from the advantages of fuel cells. The user enjoys the freedom of using electronic devices on the move anywhere and at any time. Instead of searching for a socket or carrying several batteries, charging adapters, and travel adapters, the own socket is always carried along.
