OUR STORY

Novac was born in 2018 from the idea of four students taking part in the Training for Automotive Companies Creation (T.A.C.C.) at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia a program aimed at developing entrepreneurial skills and innovative projects in the automotive field.
After receiving strong validation from leading local OEMs and industry partners, the shapeable supercapacitor project gave the founders the confidence to move forward with the development and industrialization journey.
In collaboration with the laboratories of the Universities of Modena and Parma, the team focused on researching advanced materials for next-generation supercapacitors, patenting their first technology between 2020 and 2021.

In September 2020, Novac was officially incorporated as an innovative startup. Backed by the Motor Valley Accelerator and investors such as Eureka! Venture SGR, the company grew its team and, beginning 2024, opened its own independent R&D lab in Modena.

Today, Novac designs and manufactures customized energy storage systems, combining supercapacitor and battery materials to meet the specific needs of each customer, leveraging the extensive know-how developed over the years.
