TECES was established in 2001 as a technological centre (cluster) by Slovenian companies and two faculties active in the field of electrical energy conversion and is since 2001 strengthening the development of partnerships between businesses and research organizations.
It represents one of the first innovation measures of the Slovenian government to promote technological cooperation.

From its original role of the initiator of cooperation, to coordinator of projects and finally as the development institution with own development competencies and solutions in the field of inverters, electrical drives and power electronics, TECES has to this day grown into a recognized Slovenian innovation mechanism for strengthening the development cooperation, competencies and technologies in the fields of efficient energy conversion and use, as well as energy-efficient systems.

The performance of TECES is based on a sound understanding of technological solutions and good knowledge of partner competences in their respective fields of activity, what represents a crucial component for creation of the competitive advantages and successful connection for implementation of technological research and development as well as demonstration projects of engaged partners.

The founders of TECES are Bartec Varnost d.o.o., BSH hišni aparati d.o.o., Domel d.o.o., Indramat elektromotorji d.o.o. (Bosch Rexroth), Hidria Rotomatika d.o.o., Kolektor Group d.o.o., MAHLE Letrika d.o.o., UL Faculty of Electrical Engineering, UM Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

TECES is to become an internationally recognized Slovenian innovation mechanism for the enhancement of development partnerships and the internationalization of member’s activities in the fields of efficient energy conversion and use, as well as energy-efficient systems.
