Naco Technologies
Naco Technologies develops proprietary PVD nano-coatings that replace expensive platinum-group metals in hydrogen electrolysers and fuel cells, reducing the cost of green hydrogen production at scale. Founded in 2010 by Aleksandrs Parfinovičs and Raivis Nikitins, the company secured €8 million in equity plus a €2.3 million EIC Accelerator grant in 2023, followed by a further €2.5 million pre-Series A round in 2025. Naco's coatings target bipolar plates, gas diffusion layers, and membrane electrode assemblies.

NanoSci
NanoSci is a Warsaw-registered Polish deep-tech startup, founded in 2020, that develops photocatalytic air-purification technology licensed to manufacturers of ventilation, lighting and transport equipment. Its core IP — researched at the University of Gdańsk under Prof. Adriana Zaleska-Medynska — is built on porous titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanolayers and nanotube arrays activated by UV-LED light. The photocatalytic reaction generates hydroxyl radicals that continuously decompose volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, odours, bacteria, viruses and fungi into harmless CO₂ and water vapour, with no replaceable filters and very low energy use. Rather than selling finished consumer devices, NanoSci provides modular photocatalytic engines to OEM and white-label partners; an early collaboration with bus maker Solaris demonstrated the technology in public-transport air conditioning. Two branded lines are now visible: Jupitair, targeting food and greenhouse environments (with deployments in Singapore and the Philippines and a place in Thailand's SPACE-F accelerator), and Airchanger, a decentralised heat-recovery ventilation unit with integrated purification. The company has raised early equity alongside Polish state grants and support from accelerators including AcceliCITY and Estonia's Beamline.
