What Miru does

Miru Smart Technologies, founded in 2019 in Vancouver, BC, and rebranded from Click Materials in November 2020, is commercializing dynamic electrochromic glass (branded 'eWindow') that uses low-voltage electrical signals to switch glass tint in real time. The core platform technology is a proprietary spray-coating process that deposits electrochromic inks directly onto glass, enabling curved surfaces and large formats that conventional film-based approaches cannot achieve, with ultra-low haze, a neutral grey color transition, stable-state retention without continuous power, and durability validated at 50,000+ cycles. Miru supports this platform with an AI-driven self-driving lab ('Adam') that combines robotics and machine learning for accelerated electrochromic materials discovery, and is extending AI into production via the GL-AI-ZE closed-loop manufacturing initiative.

The company addresses eight end markets — Automotive (primary), Architectural, Wearables + AR, Autonomous Vehicles, Robotics, Defense, Marine + Industrial, and Healthcare — through direct enterprise sales and a tightly integrated ecosystem of strategic partners. These include Glaston (glass processing equipment), Mativ/Argotec (TPU interlayer films, with an equity investment in January 2026), Isoclima (automotive and specialty glazing), ODL (residential doorglass), and Four Seasons Sunrooms. Miru generates revenue from hardware sales of eWindow products and licensing of its patented electrochromic and lamination technology to glass manufacturers, with materials supplied to major glass manufacturers fulfilling the first commercial purchase orders in 2025.

Miru has raised approximately $30M cumulatively, led by a $20M Series A in August 2024 co-led by BDC Capital and TNG Capital Corp., with follow-on from Greensoil Proptech Ventures, and was recognized as a 2025 World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer. The stated goal is to deploy 10 million square feet of eWindows by 2028, with commercial production facilities being built in North America and Europe and the Tampere, Finland Showcase Plant (with Glaston) operational for panoramic electrochromic sunroof development.

Core offering

Miru develops and commercializes dynamic electrochromic glass (eWindow) technology that uses low-voltage electrical signals to switch window tint in real time, controlling light, heat, and glare. The company manufactures and sells eWindow products (sunroofs, side windows, architectural glazing) and licenses its patented spray-coating process and proprietary electrochromic materials to glass manufacturers and OEMs across automotive, architectural, wearables, AR, robotics, defense, marine, and healthcare markets.

Product overview

Miru Smart Technologies offers a unified dynamic electrochromic glass technology platform called eWindow that transforms static glass into intelligent, responsive surfaces. The core eWindow product dynamically adjusts tint using low-voltage electrical signals to control light, heat, and glare in real-time. This platform technology is applied across multiple vertical-specific modules including Automotive (sunroofs, panoramic roofs, side windows), Architectural (buildings, sunrooms, doorglass), Wearables + Augmented Reality, Autonomous Vehicles, Robotics, Defense, Marine + Industrial, and Healthcare. Supporting the core technology is Adam, an AI-driven Self-Driving Lab that accelerates materials discovery and manufacturing optimization through robotics and machine learning. The company also develops AI-enabled manufacturing systems like GL-AI-ZE for quality control. The product portfolio spans from core platform technology through industry-specific applications and internal R&D capabilities.
