CEO’s Message

With Science We Create Global Impact

Elephantech is set to disrupt the electronics industry with its cutting-edge nanomaterials and precision inkjet technology.

Science and technology have long propelled human progress. Yet in today’s overheated capital market, scientific breakthroughs are often less prioritized due to their inherent risk. Even the most highly rated semiconductor companies in 2025 for their exclusive technologies were, in earlier years, criticized for investing heavily in R&D that did not yield short-term returns.

As a startup, we take the challenge head-on: to change the world through the power we gain from science. In doing so, we want to prove that deep tech is truly the most valuable investment we can make. To that end, incremental success is not enough.

That is why we are tackling the enormous global electronics market by fundamentally transforming the way PCBs are manufactured. It is a market driven by AI, robotics and other frontier technologies, and one with strong motivation to go green due to soaring metal prices and sustainability requirements. Moreover, as the field is increasingly relying on advanced nanomaterial technologies, making this the moment for us to deliver groundbreaking solutions.

I often come across questions like “Why did you found a startup in this industry?” The more I reflect on it, the clearer it becomes: there is no other path that is as aligned and ready for us to make a real difference.

Now in its second decade, Elephantech has undoubtedly become a leader in its domain. As a science-and-innovation-centered team, our customers are almost entirely international. While there are still various challenges along the journey toward becoming the global standard, we are advancing step by step with unwavering confidence.

By science, with science, let’s together build a better world.
