About us

The lab that builds power electronics — and the tools to develop it.

ACME Group is a deep-tech spin-off of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), turning a decade of real-time-emulation research into engineering services and a product, VP-M.

Where we come from

University depth, industry discipline.

Our core platform — the FPGA real-time engine, the machine and load models, the embedded control — grew out of more than a decade of research in BME’s Power Electronics Research Laboratory, and was contributed into ACME so the company owns it outright. Everything we build on top, from the power stage to the control software, is ACME’s own.

Our team has delivered power-electronics and embedded programmes inside industry — including work connected to Siemens, Rolls-Royce and Knorr-Bremse — and knows the difference between a green-field project delivered in twelve months and one that stalls for years.
