HT Materials Science (HTMS) is the global leader in smart heat transfer fluids for commercial and industrial heating and cooling systems. We help any business with a high heating or cooling demand to make significant energy and carbon savings – from commercial offices and data centres through to manufacturers, pharmaceutical & healthcare facilities and more. Our patented Maxwell™ product is a drop-in nanofluid additive that’s proven to enhance the heat transfer of a base fluid by more than 15%. It delivers immediate results (with no costly downtime needed), making HVAC systems instantly more efficient and sustainable. Maxwell™ can reduce a company’s energy costs by 12-15% or more and can also increase a system’s capacity. This means businesses can get more out of their existing equipment for longer, as their heating or cooling demands increase. Our technology is already being successfully used by a host of major companies across the US, EMEA and Asia, bringing them enhanced efficiencies, cost savings and lower carbon footprints as a result. At HTMS we proudly work with some of the best science and engineering minds in the world, with offices in Dublin, Lecce (Italy) and New York. R&D is at the heart of everything we do, and we’re constantly developing future technologies to help businesses reduce energy consumption and their environmental impact.

Sollevo is a strategic advisory. We partner with senior executives, core management teams, boards, and funding partners to help organizations generate growth and change from the core. We aim to help leadership teams shift from status quo thinking and practices to a mindset which promotes transformation. Collaboration is based around company goals and spans four key stages: discovery, mapping, redefining, and evolution. Within these phases we strengthen management foundations, map and align around a vision for change, and define a strategic approach which removes hurdles and capitalizes on areas of competitive advantage. Engagements are designed to be resource-efficient, collaborative (rather than prescriptive), and synced to the company’s objectives and milestones. Following the initial discovery stage, we use existing team meetings, updates, and strategy sessions to ensure alignment and efficient time investment. We also provide one-on-one, team and cross-functional workshops, keynote speaking, and consulting services. We specialize in partnering with growth companies, late-stage start-ups, and portfolio companies with plans to scale or internationalize operations. We work across sectors including energy and renewables, technology, services, and manufacturing and across geography with particular focus on Europe, North America, the United Kingdom, and South Africa.
