There's no sugarcoating it: the domestic battery industry is "the valley of death," as CEO Francis Wang recently told Tech Brew (Morning Brew's tech-focused arm). "There’s a slowing market. You have competition from China. Technology adoption cycles are long. These are tough times for startup companies to navigate." But tough doesn't mean impossible. "What sets NanoGraf apart," Francis shared, "is that we’ve actually punched our way through the valley of death, and we’ve leveraged the Department of Defense to do that.” With the support of our recent $60 million federal grant, we're ushering in a new era for domestic battery materials manufacturing – right here in the heart of the Midwest.

The Information is calling last month's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law grants a $3 billion "strike at the heart of China’s EV empire." That's for good reason. The grants aim to bolster everything from lithium to graphite production. And NanoGraf's own $60 million award will strengthen silicon anode production here in the Midwest. Here's the full story: https://lnkd.in/gZeddmjE
