UNLOCKING COMMERCIAL SCALE: 1.5M CELLS TODAY, SCALABLE TO 40M

HPQ Silicon $HPQ / $HPQFF is moving from promise to proof. In our latest interview, CEO Bernard Tourillon explains how the company is translating lab-scale production into commercial opportunity—projecting annual output of 1.5 million high-performance HPQ ENDURA+ lithium-ion cells powered by its proprietary silicon-based anode material.

The message is clear: HPQ is not just developing next-generation materials. It is showing the market it can scale.

COMMERCIALIZATION PATH

HPQ’s strategy combines two critical moves:

• HPQ ENDURA+ 18650 batteries showcase the performance edge of silicon anodes, extending cycle life up to 1,000 charges.

• Controlled supply chain ensures HPQ can deliver product and prove capacity to partners.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

The silicon anode materials market is forecast to reach $130 billion within a few years. HPQ’s ability to produce cells at scale positions it to capture early niche markets such as e-bikes, power tools, and drones—sectors where agile small caps can gain share before competing with global giants.

STRATEGIC OUTLOOK

Tourillon frames the company’s approach as “low-capex, high-margin.” By leveraging subcontractors for assembly, HPQ minimizes upfront risk while maximizing value creation. Scaling from 2 tons to 50 tons of material capacity could expand output from 1.5M to as much as 40M cells per year—transforming lab innovation into industrial-scale business.

“With just 2 tons of silicon anode material, we can make 1.5 million batteries. That’s the power of our technology—and why industry partners are starting to take notice.” — Bernard Tourillon, CEO

BOTTOM LINE FOR INVESTORS

HPQ is positioning itself as a disruptive small-cap contender in one of the fastest-growing markets in energy storage. With capacity projections now quantified and industry interest building, the company is entering commercialization with the potential for transformative growth.

This is more than a milestone—it’s an inflection point in HPQ’s strategy to secure its place in the global battery supply chain.
