Overview.
Developing new battery technologies takes time and money. Companies rely on physical testing and prototypes, which slows progress and drives costs. While advanced digital models could speed up R&D, few companies use them effectively due to infrastructure limits, complex software integration, and a shortage of experts.
About:Energy helps companies design better batteries using data. Its deep-tech platform combines lab facilities, battery expertise, and modeling software to cut the time and cost of development. Originating from research at Imperial College London and the University of Birmingham, the company provides the data backbone for decision-making across the battery value chain, from raw materials to recycling.
