Percy Roc

Percy Roc is a spin-off from Ångström Laboratory at Uppsala University, Sweden. The company was founded in 2018 at the intersection of AI software and embedded computing, enabling new high-power microwave energy solutions. Applications are in the manufacturing of composite materials and the extraction and mining industries.

We are part of the InnoEnergy Highway program, a member of Uppsala Innovation Centre, and the UIC Accelerator Program as well as the ESA Business Incubation Center (ESA BIC) and the Batteries Sweden – an Alliance for Ultrahigh Performance Batteries.
We have also received support from the Swedish innovation agency Vinnova.
