Atomiver (Czech Republic): Graphene-Based Energy Storage for European Defense Autonomy

In a quiet corner of the Czech Republic, a small spin-off company is developing a material that could reshape how Europe powers its most demanding technologies. Atomiver s.r.o. emerged from academic labs with a mission to commercialize a groundbreaking form of graphene for energy storage. Its flagship innovation – a nitrogen-doped graphene dubbed GN3 – promises to bridge the long-standing gap between supercapacitors and lithium batteries, delivering rapid high-power bursts without the safety risks or critical metals that burden conventional batteries. This young venture has already caught the attention of NATO’s innovation community and has drawn interest from industry for its potential to revolutionize power systems. At a time when Europe is striving for strategic autonomy in critical technologies and seeking to reduce reliance on non-allied suppliers, Atomiver’s story illustrates how homegrown deep-tech can bolster both European defense capabilities and industrial sovereignty. The company’s journey from a university lab in Olomouc to the forefront of advanced materials highlights a broader narrative: cutting-edge European research being transformed into strategic assets for energy resilience and defense modernization.
