Company Statement

Applied Intellectual Capital creates sustainable, market-driven solutions for meeting today’s emerging challenges. As a product development company, AIC funds, develops, patents, and commercializes breakthrough technologies in electrochemistry
Think clean energy, electricity storage, water treatment, and metals recovery – the world’s dynamic markets.
AIC was founded in 1999 as an incubator and investor in electrochemical technology. Its objective is to commercialise intellectual property and create value by generating licensing income, as well as by establishing businesses and selling shares in those businesses in order to realise a capital gain.
AIC finances the development of electrochemical technologies and focuses on the development and commercialisation of electrochemical solutions to water purification, mine waste treatment, energy storage, renewable energy, and sustainable resources. The processes it uses are advanced separations, Reduction-Oxidation (RedOx) systems, advanced electrodes and membranes.

Strategy
From copper, zinc, lead, and silver recovery in Namibia to converting cellulose to ethanol in the US, AIC is committed to developing and defining electrochemical technologies and engineering practices that support a cleaner, healthier, more sustainable future. With its own research and rapid-prototyping facilities, AIC nurtures applied science technologies, from ideas and lab notes to commercial-ready products and services. Our time to market can be as little as two years – that’s a significant improvement over the seven-plus years commonly associated with the applied-science sector.
AIC streamlines research and development by investing in complementary sets of applied sciences that the company then spins out into dedicated technology companies addressing a range of important markets. Simply put, what AIC learns in one market application it applies to another. With its established laboratories, engineering facilities, and experienced staff, AIC avoids the need to build additional resources for each new business stream.Protected by a robust IP position, AIC's portfolio of businesses will eventually exit AIC by way of a buy-out, trade sale, or initial public offering with subsequent share sale. Projects are developed initially within AIC’s facilities, using AIC’s labs, engineering skills, and stable of pre-engineered products and equipment. This early “co-location” encourages an ongoing pooling of ideas.AIC provides basic administrative support for each technology, including accounting and IT resources, patent planning, and strategy and business development. Once each project reaches the stage where it would benefit from a dedicated management team, AIC recruits and appoints qualified team members. The company oversees the development and commercialization efforts to protect the IP position of each technology or project and maintains a solid track record in patenting. In addition, AIC Technica, a subsidiary, is a consultancy that offers a variety of services, from rapid problem solving to product concepting and design. Its team of scientists and engineers are focused on the biotech, energy, and fuel industries.

Operations and Technology

AIC takes a holistic approach to technology development. While many companies narrowly focus on electrochemistry, making it the core of their business (be that fuel cells, batteries, or biosensors), AIC is different. Our broad technology base, developed through experience in various industries, lets us consider real-world applications that draw expertise from arenas typically unavailable to other businesses.

AIC relies on what we call “the team of teams” – a management approach that drives our creative problem-solving. The company recruits the best and brightest from both academia and industry and trains people to be multidisciplinary developers in electrochemistry. AIC looks outside the conventional realm of science for researchers and engineers who can apply their varied expertise to meeting tomorrow’s demands.

This makes AIC rich in both electrochemistry and process engineering. Our ideas consistently work outside the lab – and they can be profitably applied to multiple industries. Combine that with motivating market forces, and you’ll find AIC – with its employees’ passion for electrochemical innovation – working in the fields of biofuels, advanced energy storage, water, mining, and nutraceuticals. Or, more simply, life.
AIC Labs’ portfolio of innovative, environmentally sustainable technologies has a broad range of commercial uses in both consumer and industrial markets. AIC plans to further broaden its technologies portfolio and build on its established technology expertise as new market opportunities emerge.

Geographical Spread

The Group's strategy has been, and will continue to be, focussed on the building of a portfolio of businesses based on established electrochemical processes protected by a robust IP position, from which it will eventually seek to exit by way of a trade sale, or through an initial public offering with subsequent share sale. In appropriate cases, the Group will pursue an IP licensing strategy.

Once each project reaches the stage where the Directors believe it would benefit from a larger dedicated management team to strengthen its development, it is their intention to develop this into a business stream and identify and gradually recruit appropriately-qualified team members.

Concurrently with the development and commercialisation process, AIC endeavours to protect the IP position for each technology or project through the filing of appropriate patent applications, many of which are filed in the USA, Europe and elsewhere. The Group has a demonstrable track record in the successful patenting of electrochemical processes.
