Next week, at Nanotech Northern Europe in Copenhagen, Anthony Kongats, CEO for
Australia-based CAP-XX Ltd. (LSE:CPX), will share lessons learned while
developing his company's nano-structured supercapacitors from government
laboratory to today's deployment in space-constrained electronics devices
worldwide.
WHO:
Anthony Kongats founded CAP-XX in 1997 to commercialise the supercapacitor
technology spawned by joint research done at the Australian government's premier
science and research organization - CSIRO - and Kongats' own electronics
company, Energy Storage Systems.
WHAT:
Kongats will share his commercialisation challenges and his perspective on the
global investment environment for nanotechnology. CAP-XX is the only
publicly-listed nanotechnology company being profiled.
CAP-XX chose the Alternative Investment Markets (AIM) in London which had
supported similar internationally-focused technology companies and other
nanotechnology start-ups such as Oxonica.
Kongats will discuss start-up challenges such as attracting venture funding,
readying a technology for production, building a patent portfolio, selling a new
concept into a new market, preparing for a public offering and ramping
manufacturing capacity to meet demand.
WHERE:
Nanotech Northern Europe, Europe's annual nanotechnology conference organised by
Spinverse, Copenhagen, Denmark, 23 - 25 September:

WHEN:
Thursday, 25 September, 11:30 am, Kongats will present during the 'Analyst
Perspectives' section of 'Investing in nanotechnology,' a full-day session on
the business and investment potential of nanotechnology.
About CAP-XX:
The CAP-XX nano-structured carbon supercapacitors store energy in tiny cells,
then release large bursts of power when needed. For example, mobile phones use
supercapacitors to deliver brighter flashes and richer-sounding music, vibration
energy-harvesters use them to power data transmission bursts in battery-free
condition monitoring systems, and solid state disks (SSDs) rely on them for
backup power.
CAP-XX has sold more than 3 million supercapacitors, enabling smaller, thinner,
longer-running and more feature-rich space-constrained electronic devices such
as camera phones, SSDs, PDAs, wireless sensors and medical devices. Examples
include rugged PDAs and Point-of-Sale systems from Banksys, Handheld Products,
Intermec, Datalogic and Symbol Technologies, and wireless condition-monitoring
systems supporting energy-harvesters.
Sydney, Australia-based CAP-XX is publicly-traded on AIM and has sales offices
in the UK and USA. For more information: http://www.cap-xx.com or
