SciMo - Elektrische Hochleistungsantriebe GmbH from Karlsruhe, Germany, has successfully been awarded €1.94 million of EU funding in the EIC Accelerator programme for its project "eMONIC - The Next Generation of Automotive Electric Motor".
SciMo - Elektrische Hochleistungsantriebe GmbH from Karlsruhe, Germany, has successfully been awarded €1.94 million of EU funding in the EIC Accelerator programme for its project "eMONIC - The Next Generation of Automotive Electric Motor". The start-up has developed a new motor winding technology that makes it possible to increase the power density of electric traction motors to up to 10 kW/kg, thus saving up to 75% of motor weight and thus also 75% of resources such as copper, steel and rare earths. In the eMONIC project, the necessary automation of the production of this winding for series production is to be developed.
This will make it possible to produce SciMo motors, which are currently only available as prototypes or in small series production, much more cheaply and in larger quantities in order to also enter the e-mobility sector. With up to 75% higher material efficiency and the resulting lighter and smaller motors, SciMo will also make an important contribution to some of the main goals of the EU Commission's European Green Deal, such as the transition to sustainability and smart mobility and the conversion of industry to a circular economy as well as climate protection goals.
SciMo was the first company from Baden-Württemberg to be awarded funding under the EIC Accelerator funding programme, in which 1,109 companies applied with their innovative projects in this funding round. SciMo is one of 99 companies that will receive funding to support the market launch of their promising technologies. Funded by the Ministry of Economics, Labour and Tourism Baden-Württemberg, the Steinbeis Europa Zentrum was able to support SciMo in their application to the EIC Accelerator funding programme.
Steinbeis Europa Zentrum supported SciMo through the individual stages of the application process and helped them with valuable tips and expertise, from the video pitch and a project outline to the written application and the interview.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
