Innovative start-ups and scale-up companies participated in the Step Change 2023 event held in June 2023 at Nokia Arena, Tampere, Finland. Step Change 2023 was organized as a part of GPD Finland 2023. The event was introduced at Glass Performance Days (GPD) in 2017 as a way to develop and promote new innovations for the glass industry value chain.
Hypermemo develops the most advanced laser technology (Glaser™) for industrial glass processing. The core innovation of Hypermemo is a proprietary short-pulsed CO2 laser featuring extra-high peak power.
Glaser™ enables the processing of any common type of glass, with a thickness of up to 12 mm, in one pass. Glass is self-separated and has clear and stress-free edges. This dramatically improves edge strength and, in many cases, makes post-processing obsolete. In addition, it helps decrease the equipment footprint and improves ROI, enabling sustainable transformation of the industry.
