-
A UK-based company with over 30 years of experience in the design and manufacture of advanced battery systems for defence, aerospace, and critical industrial sectors. Solutions are developed to meet stringent international standards, including Def-Stan, Mil-Std, and ATEX/IECEx, with in-house UN 38.3 certification capabilities enabling efficient product qualification and deployment.
The company is actively engaged in research and development activities aligned with Horizon Europe priorities. Focus areas include next-generation lithium-ion technologies such as silicon anodes and solid-state cells, as well as intelligent battery management systems (BMS) and energy storage platforms designed for enhanced safety, performance, and sustainability. Partnerships with leading global cell manufacturers provide early access to cutting-edge technologies, helping maintain a position at the forefront of battery innovation.
The company adopts a collaborative innovation strategy and is open to joint development initiatives and participation in European consortia, particularly those addressing the green energy transition, digitalisation, and energy storage autonomy. Capabilities span the full TRL range—from applied research and prototyping to industrial-scale production and systems integration. - Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
-
This UK-based company is seeking to partner with organisations across the battery technology value chain for both upstream R&D and downstream application and deployment. Collaboration is of particular interest in the following areas:
Upstream R&D and Technology Development:
• Advanced materials and electrochemistry: Innovations in lithium-ion, solid-state, lithium-sulfur, and sodium-ion chemistries, including silicon anodes, novel electrolytes, and thermal control materials.
• Battery intelligence and integration: Expertise in embedded systems, BMS development, AI-powered diagnostics, and secure energy communication protocols.
• Sustainability and circular economy: Life cycle analysis, recycling processes, second-life applications, and eco-design for environmental impact reduction.
• Testing, validation, and certification: Capabilities in compliance with European/international standards, accelerated life testing, and qualification methodologies.
Downstream Application and Deployment:
• OEMs and system integrators in defence, aerospace, robotics, transport, and off-grid sectors seeking rugged, high-performance battery systems.
• Developers of industrial automation and IoT platforms integrating intelligent energy storage for mobile or remote use cases.
• End-users and technology adopters aiming to pilot battery systems in high-vibration, high-temperature, or hazardous environments.
