Ilika PLC (AIM:IKA, OTCQX:ILIKF) CEO Graeme Purdy talked with Proactive's Stephen about the latest progress on the company’s Goliath solid-state battery technology. A key focus of the discussion was Ilika’s collaboration with the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC), which allows the company to scale its battery production without heavy capital investment.
Purdy highlighted that the partnership enables Ilika to test its manufacturing processes on large-scale equipment, providing confidence to potential licensees looking to commercialise Goliath batteries. "If you choose Ilika’s technology, you can transfer that into the type of existing equipment that a lot of potential licensees are already investing in," he explained.
The company’s work is supported by a £2.7 million grant from the UK’s Automotive Transformation Fund, in collaboration with UKBIC, Mpac Group, and Agratas, Tata Group’s battery division. Purdy noted that the initiative aims to reduce production costs, improve EV range, and accelerate charging times.
Looking ahead, Ilika will continue working with UKBIC and its partners to complete the final phases of testing, including the validation of an assembly line with Mpac. Purdy confirmed that these steps are crucial as the company moves towards full commercialization.
