Release
CAP-XX CEO to Present at
Nanotech Northern Europe
Sydney, Australia - September 17, 2008 - Next week, at Nanotech Northern Europe in
Copenhagen, Anthony Kongats, CEO for Australia-based
CAP-XX Ltd. (LSE:CPX) will share lessons learned while developing his company's
nano-structured supercapacitors from government laboratory to today's deployment in
space-constrained electronics devices worldwide. Click here to review the presentation.
WHO: Anthony Kongats founded CAP-XX in 1997 to commercialise the supercapacitor
technology spawned by joint research done at the Australian government's premier science and
research organization - CSIRO - and Kongats' own electronics company, Energy Storage Systems.
WHAT: Kongats will share his commercialisation challenges and his perspective on the
global investment environment for nanotechnology. CAP-XX is the only publicly-listed nanotechnology
company being profiled.
Listing in 2006, CAP-XX chose the Alternative Investment Markets (AIM) in London which had
supported similar internationally-focused technology companies and other nanotechnology start-ups
such as Oxonica.
Kongats will discuss start-up challenges such as attracting venture funding, readying a technology for
production, building a patent portfolio, selling a new concept into a new market, preparing for a public
offering and ramping manufacturing capacity to meet demand.
WHERE: Nanotech Northern Europe, Europe's annual nanotechnology conference
organised by Spinverse, Copenhagen, Denmark, 23 - 25 September:

WHEN: Thursday, 25 September, 11:30 am, Kongats will present during the
"Analyst Perspectives" section of
"Investing in Nanotechnology", a full-day session on the business and investment
potential of nanotechnology.
About CAP-XX: The CAP-XX nano-structured carbon supercapacitors store energy in tiny
cells, then release large bursts of power when needed. For example, mobile phones use
supercapacitors to deliver brighter flashes and richer-sounding music, vibration energy-harvesters
use them to power data transmission bursts in battery-free condition monitoring systems, and solid
state disks (SSDs) rely on them for backup power.
CAP-XX has sold more than 3 million supercapacitors, enabling smaller, thinner, longer-running and
more feature-rich space-constrained electronic devices such as camera phones, SSDs, PDAs, wireless
sensors and medical devices. Examples include rugged PDAs and Point-of-Sale systems from Banksys,
Handheld Products, Intermec, Datalogic and Symbol Technologies, and wireless condition-monitoring
systems supporting energy-harvesters.
Sydney, Australia-based CAP-XX is listed on AIM and has sales offices in the UK and USA.
