We are proud to announce that Ecolyte has been awarded the EU Innovation Radar Prize 2025 in the “Climate, Energy & Mobility” category by the European Commission! At the award ceremony in Lisbon, held at the Unicorn Factory’s AI Hub alongside the Web Summit Investor Day, Ecolyte’s IonLeaf membrane was highlighted as a key enabler of the green transition. Lukas Pachernegg-Mair presented Ecolyte’s paper-based, PFAS-free and sustainable membrane whose production is about to be scaled up to an industrial level.  

What began as a research project at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) has evolved into one of Europe’s most promising deep-tech success stories, paving the way for more sustainable energy systems across batteries, electrolyzers, and water treatment applications.
