Company

Founded in 2015 by CNRS researcher Geoffroy Lerosey and Mathias Fink, professor at ESPCI Paris, to promote their pioneering research into shaping electromagnetic waves using smart materials and deep-physics algorithms.

In 2012, they took the concept of reconfigurable smart surfaces from the field of optics to that of telecommunications, with their first proof-of-concept of an intelligent indoor environment enhanced by a wavefront shaping approach. Since this first technological achievement, Greenerwave has continued its journey in the wireless communications industry. 

Using intelligent reconfigurable materials based on cost-effective and off-the-shelf electronic components, and proprietary physical algorithms, Greenerwave shifts complexity from hardware to software.
The products developed are cost-effective and low consumption, which explains the growing interest of major industry players.

Greenerwave’s academic roots are deeply tied to Institut Langevin, a joint institut of ESPCI Paris (École Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles) and CNRS.
As a renowned center of excellence in wave physics and applied science, the Institut Langevin, co-founded by Mathias Fink (co-founder of Greenerwave), has been instrumental in advancing breakthrough concepts such as time-reversal and wavefront control using metasurfaces.

These foundational ideas underpin many of Greenerwave’s innovative technologies. Similarly, the ESPCI Paris fosters a multidisciplinary research culture and a strong emphasis on technology transfer from laboratory to industry. With many of Greenerwave’s team members being alumni of this prestigious institution, the company draws on a deep well of academic expertise. These strong ties to leading research institutions provide Greenerwave with a solid scientific foundation, enabling it to develop groundbreaking solutions for controlling electromagnetic waves.
