NovaMea SA is a Swiss Tech company developing advanced materials and technologies for electrochemical energy storage and conversion. Founded in 2023 as a spin-off from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), NovaMea’s technologies are built on more than a decade of research in advanced membrane materials.

NovaMea specializes in anion exchange membranes (AEMs), anion exchange ionomers (AEIs), catalysts, and membrane-electrode technologies for next-generation electrochemical systems. Its Branion® product line is designed to enable efficient, durable, and cost-effective AEM water electrolysis and other alkaline electrochemical applications.

Beyond green hydrogen, NovaMea is developing a broader membrane materials platform. The company's approach centers on highly conductive, chemically stable, and mechanically robust membrane materials that can serve as a foundational technology across multiple electrochemical applications.

Headquartered in Saint-Sulpice, Switzerland, NovaMea combines academic research, materials science, and technology development with a focus on bringing scalable electrochemical solutions to market.
