Boréas Technologies describes itself as "an award-winning fabless semiconductor company delivering ultra-low-power piezo IC platforms and micropump solutions for the consumer, automotive and industrial markets", with "a passion (or drive) to unlock the impossible for UX designers and engineering teams around the world". Its own company page states that it has 55 employees, 45 of them engineers, across five countries. Its CapDrive architecture underpins a family of high-voltage, low-power piezoelectric driver integrated circuits used for haptic feedback, solid-state buttons and trackpads, and piezo micropumps.

  • Awarded $1 million in FABrIC funding, administered by CMC Microsystems, to develop a piezo micropump driver IC for active cooling in edge AI devices. boreas.ca

  • Its piezo haptic drivers power the trackpad in Framework's Laptop 13 Pro, announced April 2026. boreas.ca

  • Expanded its haptic module to the NIO ES8, extending its touch technology across the NIO vehicle lineup. boreas.ca

  • States it has 55 employees, 45 of them engineers, across five countries. boreas.ca

  • C2MI records that the technology has origins in research conducted at Harvard University and that Boréas was founded in Bromont, Québec. c2mi.ca
