Lios is an Irish deep-tech company transforming how the world controls noise and vibration using our pioneering acoustic materials.
To eliminate harmful noise by delivering high-performance, sustainable acoustic materials that transform how industries design and build.
Pushing the boundaries of acoustic technology through continuous research and development.
Committed to delivering breakthrough technology that reduces environmental impact.
We work with industry leaders to embed advanced acoustic performance into product design.
Lios was founded in response to a world that is getting louder. Born from a decade of acoustic research, we developed SoundBounce.
SoundBounce is a breakthrough technology that enables industries to control harmful noise without added weight, bulk or environmental impact.
From our base in Dublin, we work with global leaders to build quieter, smaller and more sustainable products.
Over a decade of acoustic innovation, market adoption and momentum.
Demonstrated SoundBounce’s superior performance against conventional acoustic materials. Engaged in early pilots with industry partners.
Secured European Horizon funding to accelerate R&D and scale the team. Expanded expertise across materials, modelling, and commercialisation.
Awarded a development contract with European Space Agency to develop, test, and qualify SoundBounce for launch vehicle fairings, one of the most demanding acoustic environments in engineering.
Completed large-scale acoustic testing, achieving superior performance.
Secured partnerships with leading manufacturers establishing a roadmap for product integration and customer deployment.
Advanced predictive acoustic modelling capabilities and began Phase 2 of our ESA partnership. Recognised by the European Patent Office as Invention of the Year.
Reduced production costs, removing key barriers to scale. Beginning the roadmap for scaling production.
Secured €2.5M grant from the European Innovation Council Accelerator programme. Announced partnership through the EIC’s InnoMatch with a leading global building materials supplier to develop SoundBounce for construction.
Our diverse team of scientists, engineers, and business leaders are united by a shared passion for innovation and sustainability.
