Trameto

What Trameto does

Trameto is a UK-based semiconductor company, founded in 2016 and headquartered in Chepstow, Wales, that develops energy management devices for micro energy harvesting. The company's stated objective is to enable the elimination of batteries in Internet of Things (IoT) applications by harvesting ambient energy from sources such as light, vibration, or thermal gradients and converting it into usable power for connected devices. This positions Trameto within the ultra-low-power mixed-signal/power management IC segment, serving IoT device manufacturers and system integrators seeking maintenance-free, battery-less wireless sensor solutions.

The company operates with a lean team of 1-10 employees led by co-founders Huw Davies (CEO) and Laurence Strong (COO), with Chris Travis serving as CTO. Funding to date has been predominantly non-dilutive and grant-driven, including a £416,602 Innovate UK grant (December 2017), seed-stage participation from Development Bank of Wales and Swansea Innovation (December 2017), an €83,579 EISMEA grant (June 2018), and admission to the Silicon Catalyst semiconductor incubator (December 2019). No disclosed revenue, products, pricing, customer logos, patents, or commercial partnerships are present in the available data, and the company website returned only a verification/waiting page during data capture, indicating very early-stage commercial maturity.

Direct peers

• EnOcean: Pioneer in batteryless wireless IoT using energy harvesting (solar, kinetic, thermal). Comparable as an end-to-end solution provider in the same battery-free IoT space Trameto addresses with its PMICs.
• e-peas: Belgian fabless semiconductor company specializing in energy-harvesting PMICs for IoT. Closely comparable to Trameto in product category, target market (battery-free IoT), and stage, making it the most direct peer.
• Powercast: US-based company developing RF and ambient energy-harvesting solutions for wireless IoT sensors. Directly comparable to Trameto on the energy-harvesting-for-IoT thesis with overlapping customer segments.

Broad incumbents

• Analog Devices: Major analog and power-management IC vendor (now including Maxim Integrated) with energy-harvesting products. Broad incumbent overlap with Trameto's PMIC focus across industrial and IoT customers.
• Texas Instruments: Global semiconductor incumbent with the well-known BQ25504 energy-harvesting PMIC family. Direct overlap in energy-harvesting power management, but as part of a vastly broader analog and embedded portfolio.
• STMicroelectronics: European semiconductor incumbent with energy-harvesting PMICs (e.g., SPV1040) and a wide MCU/sensor portfolio for IoT. Operates in the same category but at much greater scale and breadth than Trameto.
• NXP Semiconductors: Global semiconductor incumbent with broad IoT, power-management, and connectivity portfolios. Adjacent competitor for embedded IoT designs where energy harvesting may be integrated into system solutions.
• Infineon Technologies: German power-semiconductor leader offering energy-harvesting solutions (including via its Cypress acquisition). Broad incumbent with deeper pockets and customer reach than Trameto.
• Silicon Laboratories: IoT-focused semiconductor vendor offering low-power wireless MCUs and energy-aware components. Comparable in targeting battery-conscious IoT designs, though from a system-on-chip rather than PMIC angle.
• onsemi (ON Semiconductor): Power and sensor semiconductor vendor with energy-harvesting PMIC offerings for IoT. Comparable product category but at incumbent scale with broad industrial and automotive exposure.
