e-peas: Strategic-Technological Assessment for European Defence Autonomy and Dual-Use Innovation

Energy autonomy is becoming a cornerstone of Europe’s next-generation sensor networks and IoT deployments. One of the emerging pioneers in this niche is e-peas S.A. , a Belgian deep-tech company specializing in ultra-low-power integrated circuits that enable battery-free operation of wireless devices .

Founded in 2014 after a decade of university research, e-peas has built a unique expertise in harvesting ambient energy (solar, thermal, vibration, RF) to power sensors and microcontrollers. This positions the company at the intersection of Europe’s semiconductor drive and its quest for resilient, maintenance-free IoT infrastructure.

This analysis answers: What ultra-low-power integrated circuits and ambient energy-harvesting (solar, thermal, vibration, RF) technology does e-peas develop for battery-free devices? How mature is its semiconductor technology and how does it fit Europe's semiconductor drive and resilient IoT infrastructure? Who are its partners and target markets for sensor and microcontroller power autonomy? What capability gaps and dependencies affect this Belgian deep-tech chip firm founded in 2014?
