Recently, Suzhou Nuofei nanotechnology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Nuofei nanotechnology”) announced the completion of a new round of financing of 100 million yuan. The investors in this round are Agricultural Bank of China investment and Gaohe capital. Previously, it has received investment from Aurora Borealis, Intel, Guoxin Investment and CCB international.
It is reported that Novi nano, founded in 2012, is a continuously innovative material enterprise committed to the R & D, production and application of nano silver materials. The company is the first continuous innovative material enterprise committed to the development and production of flexible nano silver films in China, and also the first enterprise in China to step into the mass production of nano silver conductive films. At present, the company’s cumulative shipments of transparent conductive films are nearly 2 million square meters, ranking first in the world. The conductive film developed by the company has the characteristics of low square resistance, high flexibility, high light transmittance and stable performance. It has been widely used in smart conference, smart education, smart medical treatment, flexible intelligent equipment, new retail and other fields, and has formed strategic cooperation relations with Intel, HP, zoom, Lenovo, Honghe, Hisense and so on.
It is reported that the rapid development of online office and education in the past two years has further increased the demand for touch screen. The order volume of the company at home and abroad has increased. It has maintained a rapid growth trend since 2021. The company plans to apply for the science and innovation board in 2023.
According to the data, pan Kefei, founder of Novi, is a doctor of Princeton University, engineering director of Nanosolar and senior scientist of GE Global R & D center. He has more than 20 years of experience in the R & D and manufacturing of nano material synthesis, formula and roll to roll precision coating process. Jiang Kai, co-founder and CEO, is a doctor of Stanford University in the United States. He once served as senior director of ATMEL and Xilinx and director of McKinsey. Xu ye, marketing director, graduated from the junior class of China University of science and technology.
As an important investor of Novi in this round of financing, Gaohe capital has long paid attention to the high-tech enterprises in the “double carbon” clean energy track, adhered to “empowerment and coordination”, and advocated that the invested enterprises should use the dual resources of “capital + industry” to achieve the top enterprises. According to Wang Zeyi, founding partner of Gaohe capital, Novi has mass produced 21 nano silver wires, pilot tested 18 nano silver wires, and successfully developed 8-11 nano silver wires. Flexible AMOLED touch products have passed 200000 bending tests. At the same time, Novi has more than 120 patent applications worldwide, which are mutually granted with cambrios exclusive patents, covering more than 90% of the global nano silver patents. It is also the only top material enterprise in China with complete independent intellectual property rights of nano silver conductive film. Gaohe is optimistic about the future industrial application of Novi, especially in the field of new energy vehicles and clean energy.
Qing Ruizhi, a partner of Gaohe capital, said that in the past ten years since its establishment, Novi nano has always focused on the technological progress and industrial application of nano silver transparent conductive materials. It has the world’s leading technology and product advantages. At the same time, it has realized localization from equipment, materials to process, forming a stable supply chain security and obvious cost advantage. At present, nano silver has entered the stage of accelerated penetration in the field of large-scale touch control. The potential market of flexible screen, folding screen and small-scale market is huge, and the application in the field of photovoltaic and new energy has more room for growth. The founding team of the company has world-class R & D ability and global business ability, and has pragmatic and efficient innovation and entrepreneurship.
