HYPERMEMO OY

Their core work

HYPERMEMO OY is a Finnish deep-tech SME that develops laser-based processing technology for the glass industry. Their core product, developed under the GLAZER project, applies laser technology to cut, process, and treat multiple glass types — including ordinary, laminated, tempered, and smart glass — in ways that are more energy-efficient and environmentally cleaner than conventional methods. They position themselves as a technology company solving a manufacturing challenge: the glass industry's reliance on abrasive, energy-intensive processing methods. Their work sits at the intersection of precision photonics, industrial manufacturing, and clean technology.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

HYPERMEMO OY entered H2020 in 2018 with a narrow feasibility focus — testing whether their laser glass processing concept was technically and commercially viable (SME Instrument Phase 1, €50K). By 2020, having validated the concept, they secured a full-scale SME Phase 2 grant of over €2.1M and explicitly framed the technology around sustainable manufacturing, energy-efficiency, and clean tech — a clear shift from pure technical feasibility to market-ready green industrial product. The trajectory follows a textbook SME Instrument pathway: prove it works, then commercialise it with an environmental value proposition.

HYPERMEMO is moving from R&D toward commercial deployment of a clean-tech laser solution for the glass industry, making them a candidate partner for manufacturing decarbonisation projects and glass-sector industry consortia.

How they like to work

HYPERMEMO OY has exclusively led their own projects as sole coordinator, using the SME Instrument — a funding scheme designed for single companies rather than consortia. They have zero recorded consortium partners, which means they operate as an independent technology developer, not as a network player. Anyone considering working with them would be engaging a focused, self-directed company rather than a consortium-experienced partner — expect autonomy and product ownership, not collaborative R&D culture.

HYPERMEMO OY has no recorded consortium partners across their two H2020 projects, reflecting the solo-company nature of the SME Instrument grants they used. Their collaboration footprint within EU-funded research is currently limited to Finland.

What sets them apart

HYPERMEMO OY appears to be building a proprietary laser processing platform specifically engineered for the glass industry — a sector where laser adoption has historically lagged behind metals and plastics. Their clean-tech angle differentiates them from conventional glass machinery suppliers who compete on throughput rather than environmental footprint. For a consortium needing a specialist technology provider in precision laser manufacturing or glass sector decarbonisation, they bring a focused, IP-rich profile that generalist engineering firms cannot replicate.

Highlights from their portfolio

• GLAZER
  The SME-2 grant of €2.137M is the largest single-company award in this dataset and represents a validated commercial-stage laser glass processing product ready for industrial scaling.
• GLAZER
  The SME-1 feasibility phase (€50K, 2018–2019) completed the full SME Instrument two-phase journey — a rare achievement that signals both technical credibility and business case strength.
