March 20, 2013: Semprius Named to MIT Technology Review’s 50 Disruptive Companies List
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Solar company Semprius Inc. has been identified in the field of Energy and Materials as one of 2013’s 50 Disruptive Companies, an annual list compiled by MIT Technology Review of the world’s most innovative technology companies. The honorees are nominated by MIT Technology Review’s editors, who look for companies that have demonstrated original and valuable technology over the last year, are bringing that technology to market at significant scale, and are clearly influencing their competitors.
“We consider Semprius a solar company worth watching closely,” said Jason Pontin, publisher and editor-in-chief of MIT Technology Review. “It stands out for its novel method of concentrating sunlight onto tiny solar cells to deliver photovoltaic modules with cutting-edge efficiency and the potential to significantly lower the cost of generating solar electricity.”
