DATE:
Calyos has completed our four sessions with Sustainable Aero Lab, graduating from the start-up mentoring program.
First and most importantly Calyos would like to thank the Sustainable Aero Lab team and their extensive network of mentors who have supported us over the last 12 months. Simply to be provided the opportunity to participate has been a gift and a great experience exposing Calyos to new challenges and new opportunities.
On Calyos' side both Antoine, our CEO and Ben, our Business Development Manager have been heavily involved in the process from our initial application to finally graduating. Along the way Calyos has learned a lot making significant progress within the aviation sector which was our original goal. The whole team have enjoyed the experience and are especially grateful for the mentoring which has helped us grow in the aviation sector considerably.
Together with Bjorn Fehrm, our first mentors we identified the use cases, analysing them by priority for which our technology is most relevant and most beneficial. Next we created and grew a list of target companies with whom there is potential for adoption of our technology, many mentors were involved in this stage, each sharing their own knowledge of the market. It was extremely kind of many of the mentors for introducing us to contacts within their own network to spark opportunities for Calyos.
Since then we have secured a number of aviation opportunities, several of which came through the mentors networks. Our next step is to validate the use cases in real world applications, fortunately this is the goal of many of the projects Calyos has secured. Plus there are more opportunities in the pipeline that we look forward to seeing come to fruition.
Calyos was also mentored by Sara Jones, at first we tackled product-market fit, further establishing what are products are and what milestones are required to enable mass-market adoption. Following that we discussed our investment planning for the future, beyond our recent fundraising round. Sara's feedback has helped us shape the direction in which we are heading, and prioritize specific markets to ensure maximum reward for our efforts. We are thankful to the time both her, Bjorn and the other mentors gave to Calyos.
"I am very grateful for the time and effort from both Sustainable Aero Lab and their fantastic network of mentors. This opportunity came at the right time for us to allow us to grow in the aviation sector alongside supporting our business growth as a whole! We have had a really positive experience throughout the entire process. The program delivered beyond our expectations."
Antoine de Ryckel, CEO
Alongside thanking the whole Sustainable Aero Lab team, we would like to highlight both Mario and Daryna for their clear, concise and friendly communication supporting us throughout the process. We would also like to thank the series of almost 10 mentors who supported us during this process.
If you are also a start-up within the aviation space be sure to hit up the Sustainable Aero Lab team to further your companies mission! You can contact them to apply for the program using the link below.

Sustainable Aero LabWhat
Calyos is one of the world's leading experts in two-phase (liquid to vapour) heat transfer technologies. Calyos has developed a number of solutions for three specific cooling applications; power electronics, processors and batteries. Calyos also develops custom solutions beyond those applications for example, engine oil heat recovery. Calyos primarily targets the E-Mobility and Computing markets, where electrification and data processing are creating ever-rising demand for new, disruptive thermal solutions.
When
Calyos was incorporated in 2014 and is a spin-off from Euro Heat Pipes (EHP) who successfully developed similar two-phase technology for the space industry. EHP was incorporated in 2001 and today holds a majority market share in the European satellite market. Airbus D&S is now the majority shareholder in EHP. Calyos has been developing the technology for ground applications. This has involved a considerable amount of research and development, including developing flat evaporators, switching the working fluid to a dielectric green refrigerant and working on real-world applications such as those mentioned above.
Where
Calyos is based in Charleroi, Belgium. Calyos operates a factory side-by-side with our engineering team at this location and currently all of Calyos' production comes from this factory. Calyos supplies its products all across the world, including Asia, North America, Europe and South America.
Who
At Calyos we are a diverse group of talented individuals galvanised by the pursuit of establishing our disruptive, sustainable technology in our target markets. Remaining curious enables continued innovation as we work together to achieve our mission.
How
Calyos is built around four core values:
1. Applied Knowledge: Our technology is worthless unless we can get in it out there in the market. We strive to apply our knowledge and experience to real world applications.
2. Better Together: We succeed together. We view everyone from our customers to our shareholders as part of our team. Without working together we are nothing.
3. Inherent Flexibility: No thermal problem is the same. Therefore we strive to build flexibility into not only our solutions but also our working practices. This allows us to evolve with the market.
4. R-R-Research: Nothing stands still. As experts in our field, we must continue to innovate. We can then return to our first point and re-apply these innovations to real world applications.
Why
Our mission is to solve the greatest thermal challenges by enabling the adoption of the best, passive two-phase cooling solutions. Ensuring and delivering a sustainable approach to thermal management in the data-driven and electrified world we are creating.
