  Perovskia Solar is a Swiss cleantech spin-off from Empa that develops ready-to-adopt perovskite solar cells for edge devices. Its custom-designed cells harvest ambient light to power IoT and consumer electronic devices, reducing reliance on traditional batteries and cutting waste. The technology was developed at Empa over six years and the company says it offers high efficiency at disruptive costs. Perovskia has secured 10+ global IoT industry leaders as early clients and is scaling up Swiss manufacturing capacity. Leadership includes CEO Anand Verma and CTO Tobias Meyer, and the company has won multiple Swiss startup awards and accelerator support. It recently raised USD 2.4M to accelerate adoption and manufacturing scale. Perovskia (Perovskia Solar SA) develops digitally printed, customizable perovskite solar cells that can be designed around products rather than forcing products to fit cells. Their digital printing technology fabricates efficient and stable perovskite cells with custom design capabilities for high-end electronic devices, Internet of Things applications, and customized solar tiles. The company traces its origins to research carried out at Empa and formed after a multi‑billion‑revenue company approached the team about next‑generation solar cells for electronics. Perovskia is based in Aubonne and is led by co‑founder and CEO Anand Verma. As of the article the team has three employees and has raised CHF 250K; it participated in Venture Kick Stage I and was selected for the Venture Leaders Deeptech 2021 roadshow. The company intends to use exposure from investor and customer roadshows in Munich and London to advance commercialization and meet probable investors and customers.
