The ETH spin-off Eightinks has developed a new battery production process that is up to ten times faster and 30% more cost-effective than current methods. This breakthrough is based on a "multi-layer coating process" similar to techniques used in the paper and photo industries. This approach not only reduces costs but also improves battery energy density.
The company has successfully completed lab and test facility trials and is now set to build pilot plants after securing EUR 3 million in a Pre-Seed funding round. The round was led by Swiss fund Founderful, with Übermorgen Ventures, Angel Invest, another.vc, Venture Kick, the ETH Foundation, and various business angels. This investment sets Eightinks to bring its innovative battery production process to market, potentially revolutionizing the battery industry.
Eightinks won the final stage of Venture Kick in 2023.
