Unlocking a world of electrifying possibilities

Safire Technology Group was founded in 2022. Born out of a 5-year R&D effort led by the U.S. Dept. of Energy and Oak Ridge National Lab, Safire holds seven exclusive and comprehensive patents for groundbreaking innovations in energy storage and stability and is guided by a team with decades of experience. Fresh off a recent fundraise of $11 million in 2024, some of Safire’s current products include unmanned vehicles, multifunctional body armor, and ruggedized electric motorcycles.
