During the Dakar Rally, Mike Horn became aware of the environmental impact of the competition and wanted to demonstrate that high performance is possible without relying on fossil fuels. At the same time, Mauro Ricci, founder of AKKA Technologies, recognized the evolving need for high-power decarbonized energy. These visions converged around the GEN Z project, carried out in collaboration with the CEA, a leading research center in fuel cells.
INOCEL was founded to accelerate the production of high-power hydrogen technologies. The company quickly established its governance by appointing an advisory board and naming Jules Billiet as CEO, and then completed its first fundraising round of €16.5 million.
Announcement of its first 300 kW fuel cell for stationary energy, maritime, and heavy mobility applications.
First marine demonstrator showcased at the Paris Boat Show, highlighting the power and autonomy of hydrogen solutions.
The company launched its gigafactory, marking its entry into the industrialization phase. This site will enable large-scale production, with a target of tens of thousands of units per year.
It strengthened its visibility by showcasing its demonstrators at major international events, notably at CES in Las Vegas. The company was also selected for the French Tech 2030 program and received several industry awards. At the same time, it continues the development and validation of its high-power hydrogen systems and keeps expanding its teams to support its industrial growth.
INOCEL is accelerating the optimization of its hydrogen systems to meet customer and industrial requirements, while also strengthening its commercial development in Europe.
The company continues real-world testing with its demonstrators, validates the performance of its Z300 product, and reaches a new milestone towards industrialization, supported by a major €64M funding and the opening of its R&D center in Saint-Égrève.
INOCEL is focusing its efforts on the deployment and validation of its GEN-Z 300 fuel cell generator, designed for high-power applications. It is adaptable to industrial and stationary uses.
