Factorial Energy has invested heavily in solid-state battery research over the past 6 years.
Our process is practical, customer-driven, and electrode agnostic, and has yielded the world’s first commercial scale, balanced performance-profile solid-state cell.
The system, developed in conjunction with several of the world’s largest auto OEMs and cell manufacturers, delivers on the promises of solid-state performance without fatal defects found in iterations of the technology to date. The technology will debut in the high spec market as a proving ground for its performance and manufacturability.

Loomia started in 2014 as a design and technology studio called "The Crated". Through working with forward-thinking clients, it became clear that next-generation products, especially wearables, were limited by the materials available.
Wanting to solve this problem, we set out to crated a soft, flexible circuit that we would have wanted to use in our own engineering and design work. Throughout this process, we focused on developing tools for making beautifully designed, highly functional products that would merge electronics and soft goods.

San Francisco–based design firm Lingrove originally used Ekoa, its proprietary natural composite made of flax linen and resin, to create guitars that not only sounded great but were also more sustainable than their wood-based counterparts. 
In 2019, the company decided to expand its use of Ekoa to office furniture—and businesses eager to replace wood, plastic, and metals sat up and took notice. Then, when the pandemic hit, Lingrove engineered another successful pivot, using Autodesk Fusion 360 to create what CEO Joe Luttwak calls “pieces that can enhance the work-from-home experience,” such as shelves and wall treatments.
