About Infinitum

Infinitum is a pre-IPO climate-tech company reinventing the electric motor. We are backed by a distinguished group of strategic partners and some of the world's most influential climate funds, with strong traction in shipments and several major customer wins. The market now recognizes the value of our technology and the impact it will have on the future of the industry.
