It is thanks to the continuous hard work of our R&D team in collaboration with my co-founder Huw Hampson-Jones that SOLiTHOR has demonstrated the solid foundation of its technology over the past three years. The advancements made include major improvements in cyclability, energy density, and industrialisation readiness of our proprietary solid electrolyte, making SOLiTHOR one of the world's leaders in the solid-state battery sector.

I'm very much looking forward to this venture and the exciting new breakthroughs that are happening in SOLiTHOR's battery technology platform."

According to the outgoing CEO and Co-founder, Huw Hampson-Jones, "The appointment of Rodrigo, with his skills and expertise, allows the company to expand and upscale its solid-state cell and battery systems technology to meet the needs of its target markets. This in turn will allow Europe to secure this technology and IPR to underpin its independence of supply and lessen its dependency on Asia and North America. SOLiTHOR's solid-state technology will assist Europe to secure its territorial integrity to supply the Defence, Aviation and Maritime sectors."
