Problem
Conventional material discovery and specialty chemical manufacturing are slow and expensive, often requiring months of development and significant capital to achieve incremental performance gains. Many industries—including consumer electronics, aerospace, automotive, and clean energy—need advanced materials with properties that natural materials cannot provide, such as selective light filtering, transparent conductivity, or electromagnetic interference shielding.
Solution
Meta Materials Inc. designs and manufactures metamaterials—functional materials engineered with unique nanostructures that interact with light, radio waves, and other energy forms in ways not found in nature. The company uses AI-powered software and supercomputing to rapidly design custom patterns from a large library of material structures, then fabricates them using proprietary nanofabrication methods including PLASMAfusion® high-speed coating, holography, and Rolling Mask Lithography for roll-to-roll production. This approach enables scalable, cost-effective manufacturing of advanced materials for applications such as transparent EMI shielding, laser glare protection, de-icing/de-fogging films, augmented reality optics, and anti-counterfeiting security features. META's platform technology model allows leading OEMs to integrate these materials into existing products or develop new ones across aerospace, defense, 5G communications, automotive, energy, and medical sectors.
Target Audience
Primary customers are OEMs and global brands in aerospace and defense, consumer electronics, 5G communications, automotive, battery/energy, and medical device industries that require high-performance functional materials for product differentiation and regulatory compliance.
