EEnovate Technology
Pioneering the Development of Thermo-Textiles

Wearable devices for a number of applications including activity tracking, mobile connectivity, and medical monitoring are easily available to all nowadays. EEnovate Technology is amping up the wearable-innovation landscape and taking it by storm by appending tech-innovations into textiles. This ambitious venture of EEnovate Technology is powered by the unparalleled expertise of the company’s Co-founder, Prof. Yi Cui, and the CEO, Meng Sui. The company envisions developing environmental and energy-saving technologies and products. The founders of the company bring expertise in nanotechnology, materials science, energy and environmental technology, all under one roof. Prof. Yi Cui’s proficiency as a scientist, engineer, and inventor—with over 450 research publications and more than 50 patent applications to his name— makes EEnovate Technology a significant initiative in wearable technology.

According to the company, sustainability and materials performance are driving forces for industries across every spectrum. In the view of providing sustainability and comfort while meeting the necessities of human existence, the company has directed their innovation and technology expertise toward developing wearable textiles that can effectively reduce body temperatures in summer and increase body temperatures in winter. This unique disruption within the realm of wearable creates smarter clothing of the future by providing a comfortable experience for humans. EEnovate licensed their technology from Stanford University, and in 2016; this technology was ranked the Top 10 World Changing Technology by Scientific America. The company’s initiative was, in the beginning, supported by the United States Department of Energy’s program to save building energy consumption.

Using this revolutionary technology, the company works on offering comfort along with ease-of-use.

We strongly believe that now is the ripe time for investors to swing up a revolution in the trillion-dollar textile industry, with EEnovate at the forefront of this change

Most of the times, the textile material used in wearable technology prove to be uncomfortable and lacking breathability due to hardware integration. EEnovate Technology resolves this dilemma with its flagship breathable infrared-reflective warming textile which functions as an insulation jacket but is up to 40 times thinner and three times lighter. The company also provides infrared-transparent cooling textile which provides instant and sustainable cooling. This groundbreaking innovation comes with an added advantage of reducing energy demands for indoor heating and cooling, thus reducing the overall energy consumption. With its innovative approach, EEnovate Technology is exploring new applications of wearable technology with high performance, temperature regulation, and environmental sensing. EEnovate Technology’s pioneering thermo-textile technology will have multifunctional characteristics, including a dynamic interaction with the body temperature for constant thermoregulation of the base substrate materials.

Great potential lies in the use of the company’s textile, for either warming or cooling, or both. By providing wearers’ with warmth in winters or cooling in summers, one can save large amounts of energy for indoor heating and cooling in office spaces and buildings. Alongside its novel invention in wearable tech, the company also aims at providing water purification based on nanotechnology and electrical energy storage using reliable, rechargeable batteries.

EEnovate Technology, fuelled by the expertise and experience of its people, is at the helm of research and learning. This is furthered by the collaboration of Professor Cui with the best minds from Stanford’s Material Sciences and Engineering Department. The company is efficiently working toward commercializing its current technology to create a successful business model in the wearable sector. Furthermore, they aim at collaborating with several clothing brands to design the best line of smart clothing for end-users while also providing a materials and textile platform for mass production. “We strongly believe that now is the ripe time for investors to swing up a revolution in the trillion-dollar textile industry, with EEnovate at the forefront of this change,” concludes Professor Cui.
