Tau Group

Tau Group is an Italian deeptech startup based in Turin, founded in 2017, operating in the energy transition through the development of high-performance advanced coatings and materials. Tau Group's technology applies to surfaces exposed to extreme operating conditions — high temperatures, corrosion, wear — in the energy, aerospace, and heavy industry sectors, where component durability and efficiency have a direct impact on operating costs and sustainability. Tau Group's coatings reduce energy losses through friction and thermal dispersion, extend component operational life, and reduce maintenance requirements — with a positive impact on both plant economics and environmental footprint. The startup operates in a high-value niche where materials innovation is critical for the efficiency of next-generation energy systems — from renewable turbines to thermal storage systems — positioning itself as a technology partner for OEMs and operators in the European energy industry.
