DRACULA Technologies: See the light with organic photovoltaic energy

DRACULA Technologies, a leading European player in the production of organic photovoltaic energy, was born of a collaborative project between companies and research centres in Valence, France. KIC InnoEnergy France has been incubating the start-up since it began its activities in 2012.

DRACULA Technologies has brought an innovative digital printing process of photovoltaic cells to the market that allows for energy self-sufficiency. These extremely light printed cells can capture solar energy and transform it into power. What’s more, they can be created on demand to any specific customer requested design. The low cost of printing (approximately 1 Euro/watt) and the five-year efficiency lifespan make this solution perfectly suitable for integration with accessories, such as backpacks and luggage, as well as toys and design items.

KIC InnoEnergy interviewed Brice Cruchon, CEO of DRACULA Technologies, to learn more about the company, its products and his entrepreneurial experience.
