HIGHLIGHTS

“The results are generating industry-wide interest from battery manufacturers, graphite companies, and industrial groups, with at least 15 new (NDAs) signed or in progress”

“Representatives from a NATO member country have approached Novacium to explore whether our GEN3 silicon-based anode materials could enhance the operational capacity of their tactical radio’s battery pack.”

“18650 batteries with GEN3 silicon-based materials deliver unmatched capacity and durability Management’s opinion is based on a review of capacity and durability data from commercially available 18650 batteries manufactured by Murata, Panasonic and Samsung ”

THE STORY

HPQ Silicon’s latest developments mark a turning point in energy storage, with innovations set to redefine the landscape for global batteries. CEO Bernard Tourillon recently shared details in an AGORACOM exclusive interview, spotlighting the company’s recent breakthrough in high-capacity, durable battery technology that promises to deliver greater power density and longevity.

With potential applications ranging from drone technology to military tactical battery packs, HPQ Silicon’s advances are drawing attention across industries and investor circles alike.

“UNMATCHED” PERFORMANCE IN ENERGY STORAGE

HPQ Silicon has created batteries capable of sustaining 500 full cycles, far surpassing initial projections. “We’re thrilled to unveil this enhanced battery performance—it’s a significant leap forward that opens up new markets,” Tourillon stated. Initially aiming for a 400-cycle design, the company upgraded its technology to 500 cycles, marking a notable achievement. Additionally, these batteries retain 80% capacity, even outperforming new commercial models by over 22% and setting a new standard in energy efficiency.

MORE THAN 15 NDAS DEMONSTRATES GLOBAL INTEREST

With more than 15 NDAs signed or in progress, HPQ is moving swiftly toward establishing commercialization discussions with key industrial players, which could accelerate adoption across several sectors. Tourillon disclosed that discussions are underway with major companies, hinting at potential alliances with global leaders to scale production capabilities and reach wider markets.

STRATEGIC DEFENSE APPLICATIONS

HPQ Silicon’s technology has drawn particular interest from a NATO member country for its lightweight, high-capacity applications, ideal for soldiers in remote or mobile environments. By reducing battery weight by 33%, HPQ’s technology addresses a critical military need: efficient power without compromising mobility. This tactical improvement could transform the field logistics of battery usage, reducing the need for frequent recharging or heavy battery packs.

SCALING UP AND COMMERCIALIZATION ON THE HORIZON

“We’re not stopping at 500 cycles—we see room for doubling that capacity as we optimize our technology.”

Looking to increase its global performance lead, HPQ is focusing on scaling up to 1,000 cycles with continued minimal degradation. Already in pilot design, HPQ projects commercialization ramping up  to include partners across global regions to maximize market reach. Investors can expect progress on multiple fronts as HPQ positions itself as a frontrunner in both tactical and commercial energy storage solutions.

A MARKET-MOVING INNOVATION

With battery technology increasingly playing an essential role in global economic growth and defense applications, HPQ Silicon’s strategic advancements in durability and capacity stand to set it apart in a competitive landscape. As partnerships develop and commercialization takes hold, HPQ’s ambitious timeline and extensive industry interest suggest this small cap company is one to watch closely.
