About
Our story
In 2015, Metacoustic was founded, driven by a desire to translate laboratory research into real-world applications. This ambition became the guiding principle of the venture. Supported from the outset by an incubator and later by business development programs, the team developed its first technologies, filed its first patents, and established its first partnerships. Since then, the company has grown without losing sight of that ambition. Today, we work alongside major corporations and players from a variety of sectors, including transportation, construction, and manufacturing. These real-world challenges give rise to new research topics, new ideas, and innovative solutions to address the acoustic challenges of today and tomorrow.
From Expertise to Solutions
Metacoustic combines expertise in metamaterials, digital design, experimentation, and prototyping to transform an acoustic challenge into a concrete solution. This seamless process—from research through to integration—enables us to optimize performance and develop proven technologies such as Metablocker and the QW Modules.
An agile and committed approach
A team on a human scale, grounded in scientific rigor, transparency, and pragmatism. Direct communication facilitates decision-making, while sharing reasoning and knowledge enables us to move forward quickly, manage risks, and empower client teams to be more self-reliant.
