Phononic Named to the 2023 CNBC Disruptor 50

Phononic announced that it has been named to CNBC’s 11th annual Disruptor 50 list for its mission and advancements in bringing sustainable cooling solutions worldwide. The CNBC Disruptor 50 is an annual list of select companies challenging the status quo, disrupting current markets and creating new ones across different growth industries. This is the fourth time Phononic is recognized as a Disruptor 50 honoree for its forward-thinking solutions that drive sustainability and the inevitability of solid-state cooling across diverse global markets, including Optics/LiDAR, Cold Chain/Last Mile and HVAC. The award recognizes Phononic’s transition from semiconductor and hardware manufacturer to Active Cooling Solutions provider leveraging a platform that includes hardware, services, IoT connectivity and a turn-key contract manufacturing network to customers and licensees.

“It’s an honor to be named on the 2023 CNBC Disruptor 50 list for the fourth time alongside other innovative changemakers,” said Tony Atti, co-founder and CEO of Phononic. “Sustainability market pressures are heating up, and there is an immediate need for solutions to turn the climate crisis around. Today’s achievement recognizes that our disruptive solid state cooling solutions answer the call for more sustainable choices for global cooling instead of the current outdated refrigeration models that leak greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. We’re proud to lead the charge to sustainably transform cooling and heating through solid state innovation.”
