Invest in a smart and sustainable future...

BeFC is a French DeepTech startup founded on decades of pioneering research at Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) on biofuel cell technologies.

After incorporating the company in May 2020, BeFC raised a 3 M€ seed round in June 2020 to launch its technology on the market.

The company has since focused on the industrialisation phase from ramp-up to mass production, whilst refining the product-market fit for early customers.

We are now looking to consolidate and execute our go-to-market strategy in becoming the leader in organic energy solutions for disposable, single-use and single-patient products, whilst leveraging our expertise in developing ultra-low-power electronics.

BeFC technology is an enabler for the next generation of smart and sustainable connected devices. We are committed to executing our R&D roadmap in order to create new opportunities to extend the suitability of our products in new market segments.
