As a deep tech startup, we thrive on research and development, with innovation and creative thinking at the forefront. Our mission is to lead the way in wide bandgap semiconductor technology, collaborating with strategic partners, including universities, to enhance our capabilities. Advanced simulation tools are our secret weapon, constantly refined to stay on the cutting edge. We're not just about ideas; we're serious about protecting and leveraging our intellectual property for value creation and commercial success.

At Xtal.works, we believe in continuous learning and personal growth. Staying at the forefront of technology means our team is constantly learning, disrupting, and evolving. Our culture is all about giving individuals the reins to drive their own development. With flat hierarchies, we keep things collaborative and efficient. The result? More innovation, better productivity, and everyone going home a little happier.

We're on a mission to protect the planet and fight climate change by accelerating technology transitions. Our commitment to environmental responsibility is evident in our efforts to transition from silicon-based to silicon carbide-based power electronics, resulting in an impressive average energy savings of 20%. As part of our social responsibility, we are prioritizing the use of more durable, sustainable, and recyclable materials for consumables in our processes and ensuring that they are conflict-free.

Xtal.works is fundamentally a materials company, with wide bandgap semiconductor materials, particularly silicon carbide (SiC), at the core of our technological capabilities. SiC is a game changer, especially in power electronics, offering superior power and voltage handling, increased efficiency, and the ability to operate at high temperatures. We excel not only in semiconductor materials, but also in providing all the materials needed to grow and process them. We're redefining the materials innovation landscape by prioritizing more sustainable, durable, and cost-effective materials solutions.

Semiconductors are a major geopolitical concern today, addressed by the EU's Chips Act. At Xtal.works, we're committed to reducing dependence on foreign suppliers, particularly from China and the US, not only for substrates and wafers, but also for key consumables such as graphite, quartz, and ceramics. We want to help establish Europe as a leader in wide bandgap semiconductors, contributing to the region's economic strength and job creation.

We believe in the power of a diverse workforce, weaving together a tapestry of perspectives and experiences. Our commitment to inclusivity isn't just about checking boxes - it's about creating a culture that fosters psychological safety. That means our team feels not only comfortable but empowered to share ideas and take risks. We're also committed to being a supportive place for people with autism, where we celebrate their strengths and ensure they feel not only secure but truly valued in our work environment.
