Carbice Corporation’s aim is to redefine the thermal material market, and 亚特兰大新兴市场 Inc. (AEMI), in partnership with Invest Atlanta, is investing $1 million to help the company get one step closer to that goal.  

亚特兰大创业公司, founded by heat transfer expert and Georgia Tech professor Baratunde Cola, has developed Carbice® Carbon—a thermal management material that cools devices, 所以它们不会过热. Carbice Carbon can be found inside electronics, ranging from smart phones to satellites, and the product has even been tested on the International Space Station.

AEMI’s funding will support Carbice’s purchase of a critical piece of equipment for its newly leased laboratory and manufacturing hub, 新的20,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in the city of Atlanta. The new equipment and facility will allow the organization to serve a larger customer base, retain and increase its local talent, and become an influential local employer and technology company in Atlanta. The corporation currently has 14 employees and plans to increase this number by severalfold by 2024 by tapping into WorkSource Atlanta’s pipeline.

"We are so excited to team with 亚特兰大新兴市场 and Invest Atlanta to support our mission of helping our customers, 利益相关者, and community achieve more with confidence,巴拉通德可乐说, 卡布里斯创始人兼首席执行官. “Carbice enables the future of electronics, and through this work, we achieve our mission."

An active participant in Invest Atlanta’s Students2Startup program, Carbice also plans to partner with local universities and state colleges to create a nanomaterial manufacturing training program to help pre-qualify people for jobs at Carbice with higher pay.

AEMI’s investment in Carbice aligns with its mission to increase the access to capital for entrepreneurs, that are creating accessible jobs and social impact in historically disinvested neighborhoods.
