# 2025 Ignova |
|
Ignova recovers low-grade waste heat, often lost from factories, solar thermal panels, and data centres, and repurposes it for clean cooling and thermal storage. The system uses newly developed ultra-porous materials, similar to molecular sponges, that absorb and release water vapour at low temperatures. It enables cooling without compressors or refrigerants, using up to 90% less electricity than traditional systems. Designed for easy retrofitting, Ignova extends the value of wasted heat, supporting climate goals and boosting energy resilience
"After an engineering degree in 2018, I spent seven years driving innovation within leading French companies. My early career focused on advancing 3D printing technologies—from research and development to full-scale industrialization—across Singapore, France, and Germany. I later led digital transformation projects in the wine and spirits sector. In September 2025, I joined PSL University to pursue an advanced master's in Deeptech Entrepreneurship. There, I launched a startup project centered on heat storage, collaborating with pioneering researchers who developed breakthrough materials. Together, we are building a venture that aims to reshape energy efficiency and contribute to a more sustainable future."more
