Amperesand is a Singapore-based startup developing a medium-voltage solid-state transformer. They were spun out of Nanyang Technological University (NTU) through a pilot programme between NTU, the National University of Singapore, and Temasek.
Technology
Amperesand infrastructure systems are built with solid-state transformer (SST) modules. Each module contains silicon carbide (SiC) devices and proprietary high-frequency transformers that are significantly more efficient, flexible, and resilient than traditional transformers. This modularity also allows scaling for various applications.
The product also cuts installion labour by half and shortens the time to power by 10x[1].
A 80% reduction in eletrical footprint and simplified civil engineering requirements allows for faster and more flexible expansion of high powered facilities[1].
Application
Describe the startup's product or technology application here. Consider adding stated use cases and current (or potential) customers if it provides a useful illustration.
Intellectual Property
Amperesand is based on over a dozen patents developed by NTU scientists[2]. They have been part of Singapore's National Research Foundation (NRF) Energy Grid 2.0 programme since 2017.
Leadership & Team
Describe any notable members of leadership or interesting team composition.
Funding
Amperesand closed an oversubscribed Series A round in November 2025[1], raising US$80 million. The round was led by Walden Catalyst Ventures and Temasek.
Other investors include Industry Ventures, Acclimate Ventures, SG Growth Capital, Xora Innovation, Material Impact, TDK Ventures, and Foothill Ventures.
Business Model
Describe the startup's business model here, with emphasis on any key differentiators or business model innovations.
Market & Comparables
Talk about the market and the startup's competitors. Objectivity is important here, and citations for any opinions or data are crucial.
Traction
In October 2024, PSA unboXed signed an agreement with Amperesand to deliver their first commerical units to Singapore's port as part of PSA Singapore's upcoming charging facilities for its fleet of electric prime movers [3].
Amperesand will also deliver additional units undisclosed hyperscale AI customers in 2026[1].
