Founded in 2014 by experienced industry leaders and scientists from University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) and Cornell University, Akoustis` mission is to commercialize and manufacture its patent-pending Bulk ONE™ acoustic wave technology to address the critical frequency-selectivity requirements in today`s mobile smartphones – improving the efficiency and signal quality of Mobile Wireless devices and enabling The Internet of Things. The Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) filter market is rapidly expanding, driven by growth in 4G/LTE and the number of filters required per device. Nearly 2 billion mobile phones are manufactured per year, and over half are in the growing segment of high-end smartphones. Because these smartphones need to operate globally, on more than one carrier, and with bands that are becoming ever-closer together, the need for higher-performance filters is upon us to ensure mobile compatibility. 4G/LTE networks are driving the need for higher frequencies, and traditional SAW filters simply cannot provide the necessary coverage and performance, as evidenced by the growing mix of BAW filters in the mobile phone. Akoustis™ addresses this critical mobile-wireless need by using single crystal piezoelectric materials to create a new class of acoustic wave filters – improving performance, lowering cost and driving miniaturization. Akoustis` Bulk ONE™ filters originate from materials which exhibit 30% better acoustic performance when compared to the incumbent thin-film technologies deployed today. Akoustis` business model is capital efficient, which leverages decades of cap-x investments in the semiconductor industry. Founded in 2014, Akoustis™ is located in the piedmont technology corridor between Charlotte and Raleigh.

Powerex was established in 1988 as the wholly-owned electricity marketing subsidiary of BC Hydro – Canada’s third largest electric utility – responsible for marketing BC Hydro’s surplus electricity in the west. Today, we are a key participant in energy markets across North America, buying and supplying physical wholesale power, natural gas, ancillary services, and more recently, environmental products with an ever-expanding list of trade partners. Our portfolio of energy resources includes purchases of power and natural gas from a wide variety of energy suppliers across North America, as well as the highly reliable Canadian Entitlement energy derived from the Canada/US Columbia River Treaty. The knowledge, expertise and creativity of our staff allow us to meet the changing demands of the markets and needs of our customers. Our employees closely follow the markets, enabling us to quickly respond to market changes. And our in-depth knowledge of the various markets, transmission and gas transportation systems helps us find creative solutions for securing and moving energy to support our trade agreements. In a changing market, Powerex has outlasted many of our competitors and evolved from an electricity marketing company to an energy trading and marketing company, offering a variety of products and services in traditional energy and emerging markets. Our chief competitive advantages have been the quality of our service, the integrity and creativity of our people, and our ability to reliably deliver energy products and services.
