COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyperion Companies, Inc., a green hydrogen technology company announced today that the company is moving its headquarters from Southern California to a 65-acre facility on the west side of Columbus, Ohio. The facility will also house a research and development center in addition to its manufacturing operations. Hyperion Announces New Hydrogen Fuel Cell Research & Development And Manufacturing Center
Hyperion will invest more than $297 million in the new facility to manufacture its next-generation hydrogen fuel cell, which will power its new line of stationary and mobile energy storage products, including its XP-1 hypercar. The investment will create more than 680 net new, full-time permanent positions over the next six years, with an annual payroll of up to $58 million. Founded originally in Columbus in 2011, Hyperion's return to the city comes as other hydrogen technology startups and manufacturers have also recently made Columbus home. Angelo Kafantaris, CEO of Hyperion, and Ohio native said, "After 10 years of development, we are thrilled to bring our hydrogen technology back to Columbus where it all started. Building the XP-1 allowed us to test and refine our fuel cell technology, allowing us to create the most advanced green hydrogen fuel cell stack for a number of different applications. With its ability to store mass quantities of electric energy, hydrogen has tremendous long-term, zero-emission potential for the energy sector, and will be one of the most powerful tools in reducing carbon emissions on a global scale." Mayor Andrew J. Ginther said, "Columbus' west side has always been a hub for manufacturing and innovation, and Hyperion will bring a fresh wave of investment and activity that will create opportunity for residents in Westland, the Hilltop and beyond. Columbus' public and private sectors are committed to leadership in clean energy, technology, cutting-edge manufacturing and the future of mobility, and I am delighted that Hyperion will join us in driving our growth." J.P. Nauseef, JobsOhio president and CEO, said, "Ohio is poised to lead in the development of hydrogen fuel cells, and Hyperion Companies, Inc. has invested significant resources in developing cutting-edge solutions in advancing this technology to support the automotive, transportation and energy storage industries. JobsOhio plans to provide assistance following the company's achievement of operational milestones as Hyperion moves forward to establish a new headquarters and R&D center in the Columbus Region." Hyperion chose to revitalize the storied building that once housed the printing operations of the Columbus Dispatch because the layout and operations of the highly advanced roll-to-roll printing hub mirror those of a high-yield fuel cell membrane coating process. Between the ideal technical capabilities of the building, the hydrogen supplier network already in place in Ohio as well as the depth of the local R&D talent, Hyperion will be able to fast track its operations and begin production in 2023.

HERNDON, Geospark Analytics, the world class leader in developing applied artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for global threat and risk assessment , was just awarded a $95,000,000 firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract with a five year ordering period for the Phase III commercialization of their Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) technology called Hyperion. The U.S. Air Force (USAF) originally awarded Geospark Analytics a $40,000 Phase I SBIR as part of their Pitch Day Event in 2019. Over the course of the next 18 months, Geospark Analytics delivered a series of Phase I, II and III enhancements to its Hyperion platform like collaboration and mobile features to the USAF, US Combatant Commands and Federal Civilian Agencies. Now with this new enterprise-level contract Geospark Analytics will provide near real time situational awareness capabilities to the entire U.S. Federal Government by identifying and forecasting emerging events on a global scale to mitigate risk, recognize threats, greatly enhance indications and warnings and provide predictive analytics capabilities. Work will be performed in Herndon, VA, and is expected to be completed September 1, 2026. “Geospark Analytics is so excited to partner with the US Space Force to bring the full weight of our revolutionary Hyperion capability to the entire US Federal Government,” said Geospark Analytics CEO and Founder Omar Balkissoon . “Our Hyperion AI engine has gotten a lot of attention lately because of the work we’ve done on COVID-19. In the last quarter alone, we’ve closed, and successfully transitioned, five enterprise level contracts with two more in negotiation, and our work now spans all three pillars of the Federal Government—Intelligence Community, Department of Defense and Federal Civilian. But there has also been recognition that with Hyperion Events, Hotspots, and Pulse stability models the U.S. Federal Government will receive insights into mission relevant events happening around the world well beyond COVID, an understanding of how those events impact U.S. operations at home and abroad, how they shape the future operating environment and offer an ability to easily manage the increasingly complex and growing publicly available information.”
Sep 5, 2020
“Our Hyperion platform is the only commercially available technology that can simultaneously alert users to breaking events, spikes in activity, and drops in stability via access to a web browser or mobile application from anywhere in the world at machine speed. We are exceptionally effective where social media, particularly Twitter, is not prevalent—a testament to the fact that we collect from 6.8 million unique sources of data today! With this award we are well on our way to realizing our vision to make the world safer, healthier and more efficient,” said Geospark Analytics President  Amanda Brownfield .” Brownfield added, “Our groundbreaking Pulse stability model is our calling card, and it is only thru our platform that users working everything from watch operations; to logistics and transportation; to defense, intel and security; to law enforcement are armed with data to make them Future Ready!”
“I spent 23 years in government service, culminating as a senior executive with the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) before ultimately joining Geospark Analytics as a founding member about 3 years ago,” said Geospark Analytics COO  John Goolgasian . “Biased or not, I would have given my right arm as a senior executive at NGA to exploit this kind of partnership with Industry. This is a truly amazing story of collaboration between a small, disruptive technology company and the government. It demonstrates that the government doesn’t have to look to Silicon Valley, Boston or Austin for innovation that matters.” Goolgasian added, “Geospark Analytics is here in our nation’s capital, and just in our CSuite alone is 70 + years of reputational experience in small, medium, and large businesses directly facing the U.S. Government, as well as support at, and for, the executive level across the U.S. government, which means we understand how to apply technology against mission! This award is not only a game changer for us, but thru the implementation of the commercialization strategy, this Phase III SBIR ensures that the whole of the U.S. government and our commercial clients will benefit from this investment!”
