TracXon raises €4.75 million to pioneer sustainable alternative to printed circuit boards

Founded in 2022, TracXon has pioneered the transition from lab-scale to industrial-scale production of HPE. With a 5x lower carbon footprint and a 12x lower material use, TracXon’s technology offers a sustainable and functionally superior alternative to the resource intensive and bulky traditional printed circuit board (PCB) technologies. These reductions directly contribute to the circular economy and a more sustainable digital industry.

Co-developing and manufacturing HPE products

In 3 years, TracXon has supported over 20 customers from 10 countries by co-developing and manufacturing their HPE products, leveraging unique design and application know-how and roll-to-roll (R2R) manufacturing capabilities. The end applications enabled by TracXon range from compact Industrial- and Wearable Internet of Things (IoT) devices, all the way up to large-area devices (>1 m2) such as LED foils for display and lighting applications.

Unique patented equipment

TracXon will leverage the seed investment to build unique, patented equipment to enable multi-layered and double-sided HPE, starting off with the first-of-its-kind R2R VIA Printer. This machine, expected to be commercialized in mid-2027, will enable vertical interconnections between circuit layers on two sides of a substrate roll, marking a significant advancement in sustainable electronics manufacturing.
