Micropelt

Micropelt is a German technology company specializing in the development and manufacturing of thin-film thermoelectric generators (TEGs) and energy harvesting solutions. The company's core technology converts waste heat into electrical energy, providing a sustainable and maintenance-free power source for wireless sensor networks and wearable medical devices. In the healthcare sector, Micropelt's micro-thermogenerators enable the creation of self-powered health monitors and diagnostic sensors that operate using body heat, eliminating the need for batteries. Originally a spin-off from the Fraunhofer Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques (IPM), the company was acquired by Wicell Holding in 2015 and continues to provide energy-autonomous solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT) and MedTech industries.
