Critical Need

Globally, much attention is devoted to how energy is produced and how efficiently it is used. However, from the moment energy is generated to the point where it performs useful work, it undergoes multiple power conversion processes. Because of the inefficiency of these conversion processes, approximately two-thirds of the energy is lost, resulting in two-thirds more energy being produced than is needed to do useful work.

Technology Vision

Gallox is dedicated to enhancing the efficiency of power electronic conversion processes by utilizing gallium oxide-based devices. Over the past decade, the unique properties of gallium oxide have positioned it as the next-generation semiconductor for power electronics, and will enable transistors and diodes to be >3x more efficient than incumbent technologies.

Potential for Impact

With Ga2O3 as the cornerstone of power electronics, ultra-fast EV charging—under five minutes—becomes a reality, removing a major barrier to EV adoption. Electric grids become easier to maintain through the widespread use of solid-state transformers, which reduce system complexity and improve reliability. Data centers, factories, and infrastructure all benefit from lower electricity losses and reduced operating costs. As Ga2O3 scales, it accelerates global electrification, enabling a cleaner, more resilient, and accessible energy future.
