ParsNord Thermal Comfort ApS (PNTC) is a spinout company from Aalborg University, Department of Energy Technology and funded by the “Innovation Fund Denmark”. The company invented a new manufacturing method to fabricate cheaper and scalable flexible thermoelectric modules. So the inventive step includes both designing and manufacturing which are based on hybrid printed electronics. These modules can be used in a diverse range of applications such as automobile climate control.
