Primary industry: Advanced battery manufacturing and materials science (Li-Metal and Li-ion), with a strong focus on AI-driven material discovery and battery management.
Target customers: B2B – automotive OEMs (GM, Honda, Hyundai), drone manufacturers, urban air mobility companies, and energy storage system integrators.
Mission: “Accelerate the world’s energy transition through material discovery and battery management.”

Li-Metal Battery Cells: High-energy-density cells in form factors like 30Ah, 100Ah, and 6Ah, designed for EV, UAM, drones, and robotics.
Molecular Universe (AI4Science SaaS Platform): An AI-driven platform that maps small molecules and deploys AI agents to accelerate electrolyte material discovery for both Li-Metal and Li-ion chemistries.
Avatar (AI for Manufacturing & Safety): A set of AI solutions that capture manufacturing defects beyond conventional quality control and predict battery health and vehicle value.
ESS (Energy Storage Systems): Fully integrated hardware/software solutions for data centers and commercial & industrial applications, including battery health and safety management powered by Molecular Universe.

Valuation/Market Cap: Approximately $1.0 billion (as of mid-2026, per LinkedIn data)
Key Metric: Annual revenue – Not publicly available (SEC filings exist but not summarized in available sources); Total funding – IPO in 2022 (amount not specified in search results)
Notable Investors/Partners: Joint development agreements with General Motors, Honda, and Hyundai – the only Li-Metal battery company with three such major automotive partnerships.
Growth Signals: Opened a new manufacturing facility in Chungju, South Korea; expanded NDAA-compliant drone cell production; Shanghai Giga facility (300,000 sq ft) is one of the largest Li-Metal pilot plants globally. However, LinkedIn shows a 6.7% year-over-year decline in headcount (98 employees as of mid-2026).

First batteries in the world to contain electrolyte materials discovered by AI (via Molecular Universe platform).
Deep partnerships with three global automakers, providing co-development and potential supply channels.
End-to-end R&D from AI-driven material discovery to large-format cell manufacturing.
Global footprint with facilities in the US, China, and South Korea, enabling access to different supply chains and markets.

Scaling Molecular Universe to accelerate material discovery for both next-generation Li-Metal and mainstream Li-ion applications.
Expanding Avatar AI solutions to ensure 100% battery safety in the field and reduce manufacturing defects.
Diversifying beyond automotive into drones, urban air mobility, robotics, and stationary energy storage (ESS).
Strengthening NDAA-compliant supply chains for defense and drone applications.
