Inogen Energy Technologies Website: https://inogen.com.tr Country Türkiye Organization Type • Industry • Technology Developer • Engineering & R&D Company • Pilot Manufacturing and Demonstration Partner 1\. Organization Overview Inogen Energy Technologies is a knowledge-driven engineering and R&D-oriented technology company founded by two materials science academicians. Since its establishment, Inogen has grown into a technology group of over 500 employees across five subsidiary companies. Inogen’s mission is to develop innovative engineering solutions and advanced energy technologies that support the global clean energy transition. The company combines strong academic foundations with industrial-scale prototyping, advanced materials development and full-system engineering capabilities. This integrated structure enables Inogen to contribute to EU-funded R&I projects across multiple TRL levels (3–8). 2\.
