Our Story
Founded in May 2023, GIGAette emerged from cutting-edge research in thermal dynamics, energy storage, and cryogenic engineering at KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology). Our founders recognized two massive untapped opportunities: industrial waste heat as one of the largest unused energy resources globally, and the need for reliable integrated measurement in cryogenic systems supporting the hydrogen economy.
Through years of research and development, we developed two revolutionary technologies: IsoTES® (Iso Thermal Energy Storage), featuring the unique thermal piston effect for single-tank constant-temperature output, and CryoIMS® (Cryogenic Integrated Monitoring System), delivering level, pressure, and temperature measurement through a single flange connection.
