VSParticle

Printing nanoparticles

VSParticle is accelerating the development of advanced materials needed for the transition to net zero from years to weeks.

VSParticle’s revolutionary technology enables materials to be broken down to the size of nanoparticles and produced at the push of a button, allowing university researchers and commercial R&D teams to experiment to create new materials that will power next-generation products. It can take up to 10 years to discover new materials in a lab and a further five to bring them to mass production, but VSParticle’s technology is supporting teams to reduce the overall time of material discovery down to only one year.

VSP empowers R&D teams in labs today and its future-proof technology positions it at the forefront of the self-driving lab revolution. An increasing number of VSP customers are pioneering autonomous labs that integrate robotics, AI, and high-throughput material synthesis to accelerate ground-breaking discoveries crucial for addressing urgent global challenges like sustainable energy. VSP’s advanced technology ensures top-tier material synthesis, paving the way for future innovations in nanotechnology and novel materials for the energy sector. 

The new funding, which included participation from previous investor Hermann Hauser Investment, brings the total raised by VSParticle to €24.5 million. The new investment will be used to further the development of VSP’s technology so its next-generation printers have up to 100 times higher output and will also support the company in expanding to Japan and doubling down in the US and Europe.

At VSPARTICLE we look for Investors that can push us forward on multiple fronts. VSPARTICLE is uniquely positioned to create massive amount of impact but we need a strong set experienced opinions to guide us along the way. The strong track record from the Nordic Ninja team in building technology enabled companies made us eager to get them on board after our first conversation. In addition, VSPARTICLE is active in Japan since 2017 but we still struggle to unlock the potential of this market due to cultural differences. While closing the investment the Nordic Ninja team proved highly valuable by visiting key customers in Japan together.
