The OliKrom adventure began with 15 years of fundamental research conducted by Jean-Fran\u00e7ois L\u00e9tard<\/strong> at the Bordeaux Institute of Condensed Matter Chemistry (ICMCB), a CNRS research laboratory.<\/p>\n

After several patent filings around color intelligence, the company was created in 2014 to address the issues of intelligent color changing materials.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

It all started with an observation: too many industrial developments are still stopped in the field of intelligent materials<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"A smart material is not just another pigment filler. By definition, a smart material is extremely sensitive to its environment. The slightest variation during synthesis or the simple addition of an additive transforms the surrounding environment and therefore the smart property: shift of the color change threshold, modification of the color, loss of performance. It is this lack of knowledge and technical mastery that explains why many industrial projects are still being halted. Today, OliKrom responds to the problems of industrialists by supporting them in their innovation process.\"<\/em><\/p>\n

OliKrom is today an innovative SME<\/strong> and an industrial player recognized internationally for its ability to develop innovative custom solutions in the field of intelligent materials with color change or optimized luminescence properties.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"InnovationThis spirit of innovation<\/strong> is in the genes of OliKrom. We attach great importance to the values of expertise, quality of service and commitment to our industrial partners. These values have defined OliKrom since its inception and have accompanied the company's continued growth.<\/p>\n

OliKrom has found in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region<\/strong> an ideal framework to develop its industrial activities with the support of the Regional Council and the Public Investment Bank (BPI). Structural programs have helped to co-finance OliKrom's development, such as the European Union with the European Regional Development Fund or the ADEME agency (winner of the \"Road of the Future\" program).<\/p>\n

Today, OliKrom is an integral part of a rich and dynamic ecosystem through :<\/p>\n
