A Climate Deep Tech company on an important mission

Protecting the environment by innovation

Human-induced climate change is the single biggest threat facing humanity. To meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, we must substantially reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to limit the global temperature increase. Daphne Technology is a Swiss climate deep-tech company focused on solving the GHG challenge in tough-to-decarbonise industries.

Daphne Technology develops technologies and scales innovative products to measure and reduce GHG emissions from industrial sources, with a portfolio approach to decarbonisation targeting GHG emission inefficiencies in power generation and energy conversion across the globe.

A global presence

Daphne Technology is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, with a subsidiary in the US, Norway and Singapore. In addition to attracting top talent and expertise, our goal is to establish proximity to the industries, markets, and customers we cater to. To achieve this, we maintain a local presence in multiple locations worldwide.
