Perseus Materials Inc., a member 0f the 2023 cohort of the “Innovation Crossroads” program operated by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, is one of 20 finalists selected to pitch at next week’s “JEC World 2025” event.
The three-day event begins on March 4 in Paris, France, and is touted as the event that “gathers the whole value chain of the composite materials industry every year and is ‘the place to be’ for composites professionals from all over the world.” Featuring ground-breaking solutions, unique manufacturing and business opportunities, “JEC World” is a networking hub of creativity, vision, and action.
Co-founded by Daniel Lee, the company’s Chief Executive Officer, and John Feist, Chief Technology Officer, Perseus Materials is one of 10 finalists in the Process, Manufacturing, and Equipment category. The other 10 finalists are in the Products and Materials grouping. The Knoxville-based company is competing in the “JEC Composites Start-up Booster” event, described as the leading start-up competition in the world of Composites and Advanced Materials. Launched in 2017, Start-up Booster has been organized in three different regions (Europe, USA, and Asia) and has already fostered the emergence of 1,100+ innovative projects from more than 60 countries, 138 finalists, and 31 winners, including FibreCoat, Arevo, Continuous Composites, CompPair, Fortify, and Vartega.
As detailed in this November 20, 2023 article in teknovation.biz, the Knoxville-based start-up has the ability to develop and apply its proprietary composite fabrication processes to the manufacturing of oversize load-bearing structures for buildings, bridges, wind turbines, and other applications in infrastructure and energy. To do so, Perseus has developed a new class of continuous molding with the speed of pultrusion and the adaptability of 3D printing, enabled by proprietary resins and their unique curing behavior.
