Pure R&D Activities: Building the future

In keeping with the first statement of the Company’s ethical charter:

“The aim of the Company is to expand scientific knowledge and to progress technology through invention, design and efficient production of innovative devices in the field of cybernetics, motion control and energy conversion, in the belief that the advance of science is as much the driving force of humanity as it is the only means of offering the best future for all living beings”, Phase reinvests a large share of their resources into pure R&D with a long term view.

R&D activities are focused on the search of innovative solutions and technologies to overcome the foreseen roadblocks to a more sustainable development.

R&D projects are defined as ventures into solutions which are possible but not yet found or demonstrated, not only in terms of industrial development, but also at theoretical or prototype level. They could generate revolutions, or fizzle into failures, and as such they are just investment into the future.

Phase is currently running research projects in the following areas:

Energy storage, advance batteries
