Satbayev University graduates launched a unique startup

Due to the grant from International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and  “Stimulation of Productive Innovations” project from Project Management Group, a new player has appeared in the market of Kazakhstan – “Savenergy” company  with a unique product for our country — a vacuum thermal insulation panel. This exclusive panel is made of finely porous material. It does not burn, does not emit toxic gases and vapors, and the given panel’s lifetime reaches 50 years.

The startup was created by Satbayev University graduates, Doctor of Science Ruslan Nurlybayev and Master of Science of Valencia University Aidos Dzholdassov.

In 2012, in collaboration with Russian colleagues, the use of fine-pore materials at thermal insulation panels’ creation was studied. The joint work result became the basis of doctoral dissertation; in 2015 the work was successfully defended.

In 2016, with the support of Satbayev University Commercialization Office, the project on the production of vacuum thermal insulation panels was submitted by the partners for junior research teams’ contest under “Stimulation of Productive Innovations” project of Kazakhstani Government and the World Bank.

 Kazakhstani Government and the World Bank’s joint project has been implemented since 2016. The project goal is to support relevant for the country researches on technology commercialization. The state and the private partner “ErnarService” have invested in the startup.

At present, the negotiations related to scaling and production automation are being held with a potential investor.
