London — EQONIC Group, the UK battery technology company developing next‑generation batteries and energy storage systems, has been selected for the UK Government’s £452 million Battery Innovation Programme, delivered by Innovate UK and supported by the Department for Business and Trade.
This highly competitive programme backs only the UK’s most commercially scalable and globally relevant battery technologies. EQONIC’s selection signals strong government confidence in the company’s ability to become a major UK‑originated player in the global energy‑storage market.
A Platform Positioned for Global Scale
EQONIC is developing a battery technology which reduces the three biggest structural constraints in the global battery supply chain: cost volatility, safety risk, and material scarcity.
The company’s architecture is engineered for:
These are markets where lifetime economics, safety, and total cost of ownership dominate purchasing decisions, and where existing technologies are increasingly misaligned with customer needs.
Government Funding Accelerates Commercialisation
The awarded funding will accelerate development of a full‑stack digital twin of EQONIC’s proprietary manufacturing process, a critical enabler for rapid commercial deployment.
A reconfigurable production and disassembly line will support both high-efficiency assembly and structured end-of-life processing, enabling battery systems to be manufactured, repurposed, and decommissioned within a single integrated industrial framework.
This integrated model will enable EQONIC to deploy reconfigurable assembly and disassembly manufacturing capacity, performing across the full battery lifecycle in line with emerging regulatory requirements.
The digital twin will allow EQONIC to:
This capability is central to EQONIC’s asset‑light, technology‑first commercial model, which avoids large-scale capital expenditure and instead enables rapid global scaling through collaborations and partnerships.
Strategic Collaboration with Ellaniti Strengthens Industrialisation Pathway
To accelerate commercial readiness, EQONIC is working with Ellaniti, a team of experts specialising in smart manufacturing, operational excellence, manufacturing strategy and technology roadmapping.
Ellaniti’s expertise strengthens EQONIC’s ability to industrialise quickly, efficiently and with global repeatability.
A Commercial Model Built for Speed and Capital Efficiency
EQONIC’s distributed manufacturing model enables:
This model enables responsive fulfilment of client demand and accelerates international scale-up.
CEO Commentary
“This programme is one of the most rigorous technical and commercial assessments in the UK battery sector,” said Jas Kandola, CEO of EQONIC Group. “Our selection validates not just our technology, but our commercial model. With government backing and Ellaniti’s manufacturing expertise, we are now accelerating towards large‑scale deployment with global partners.”
Quote from Ellaniti’s Board of Directors
“EQONIC is building one of the most commercially compelling battery platforms we’ve seen – a technology that removes the material constraints holding back global storage markets. Our work together is focused on ensuring EQONIC can scale fast, scale safely and scale globally. The combination of breakthrough chemistry and a world‑class manufacturing strategy positions EQONIC to become a major player in next‑generation energy storage.”
Target Markets with Immediate Commercial Pull
EQONIC’s platform is designed for sectors experiencing acute demand for safe, long‑life, battery technology:
These markets represent attractive multi-sector opportunities, as incumbent technologies become less viable due to cost, safety and supply-chain constraints.
