Humanity’s big challenges need big solutions, attract big ideas and innovative approaches. Our challenge is to enable the up-scaling of renewable energy sources of electrical energy, with energy storage as the critical enabling technology. The urgent need for a breakthrough technology in energy storage is not in question; technical commentators and analysts such as the Bank of America have declared large scale storage as the “holy grail” of the energy industry. But pursuing this challenge is not enough: for Teraloop to develop this disruptive technology, they must demonstrate excellence, ingenuity, and they must position themselves as thought leaders in their field.

This is why Teraloop is honoured to announce that they were selected amongst the Top 500 startups list of Hello Tomorrow, the world’s pre-eminent early-stage startup competition for science and deep technology. The competition is due to take place at the Hello Tomorrow Summit in Paris, October 2016. Teraloop will be competing with the world’s top researchers, inventors and entrepreneurs for recognition and prizes. You can read more on the competition here.

Beyond the challenge, going to the conference further gives them the opportunity to meet prolific investors in each sector, industrial leaders, international media and influencers.

Teraloop is proud to add this distinctive award to its current honorific portfolio. Indeed, they have previously been selected as Top 30 Most Promising Energy Startups of Europe at the 2015 Vaasa Energy Week, while acting as keynote speaker in their 2016 edition. They are also featured by many public institutions such as Finpro and Cleantech Finland, Tekes, and have received substantial media coverage.
