BASQUEVOLT

(EN) BASQUEVOLT marks an important milestone in its journey toward industrial consolidation! Pablo Fernandez-Santos, our newly appointed Managing Director, held an initial meeting with Mikel Jauregi, the Basque Government's Minister of Industry, Energy Transition, and Sustainability at a truly strategic moment for the company. Pablo, a founding member of BASQUEVOLT and former CTO, brings a strong technological and industrial vision to the role, aiming to scale up our solid-state battery technology and integrate it into key sectors such as automotive, light mobility, aerospace, and stationary storage. His appointment comes right after securing a €10 million capital injection, backed by Ekarpen, Stellum Capital, and CDTI Innovación - Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico y la Innovación, critical funding that will support our first production steps in the Basque Country and strengthen partnerships within the local ecosystem. “Public-private collaboration will remain a key driver as we pursue our mission to produce next-generation batteries from the Basque Country to the world,” Pablo shared after the meeting. At BASQUEVOLT, we continue moving forward with confidence, innovation, and purpose toward safer, more efficient, and more sustainable mobility. (ES) ¡BASQUEVOLT marca un hito importante en el camino hacia su consolidación industrial! Pablo Fernandez-Santos, nuestro nuevo Director General, ha mantenido un primer encuentro con el Consejero de Industria, Transición Energética y Sostenibilidad del Gobierno Vasco, Mikel Jauregi, en un momento estratégico para la compañía. El nombramiento de Pablo, miembro del equipo fundador y hasta ahora CTO, refuerza nuestra apuesta por una dirección con visión tecnológica e industrial, orientada a llevar nuestras baterías de estado sólido desde el laboratorio hasta su integración en sectores clave como la automoción, la movilidad ligera, la aeronáutica o el almacenamiento estacionario. Este paso se da tras cerrar una ronda de financiación de 10 millones de euros, con el respaldo de Ekarpen, Stellum Capital y CDTI Innovación - Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico y la Innovación. Una inyección clave para impulsar nuestros primeros pasos productivos en Euskadi y reforzar alianzas dentro del ecosistema local. “La colaboración público-privada seguirá siendo una palanca fundamental para avanzar en nuestra misión de producir baterías de última generación desde Euskadi para el mundo”, destacó Pablo tras la reunión. Desde BASQUEVOLT seguimos avanzando con firmeza e innovación hacia una movilidad más segura, eficiente y sostenible. #Basquevolt #solidstatebatteries #sustainability #mobility #energystorage #euskadi #innovation #cleantech #industry

In the delicate dance of lithium metal anodes, performance hinges on where lithium decides to land and how well we've prepared the stage. This week on U Ask We Deliver, we're spotlighting the unsung heroes of the anode side. Who deserves the deep dive next? Surface energy tuning, engineered textures, and clever architectures to guide uniform deposition and reduce interfacial resistance? Or directing growth, avoiding dendrites, and achieving stable cycling? #lithiummetal #anodes #batterytech #solidstatebatteries #electrochemistry #EV #mobility #materialsengineering #electrification #sustainability

Who's got the formula for financial stability down to a science? Meet the team behind Finance! Learn what Basquevolt's Finance Director, Izaskun Goitia, Public Funding Coordinator, Julen Tamayo Arriola, Accounting Technician, Mertxe María Díez, Cost Engineer, M Velo Bezanilla and Financial Technician, Ainhoa Castillo Sanmartín, have to say about their experience in this department in our company. In Izaskun's words: “We not only take care of the common accounting and finance tasks; but we are responsible for the public funding as well, because public institutions support at this moment of the company is key for us.” Watch the full episode below and keep an eye out for our next protagonists! #finance #research #development #production #retrofit #ASampleLine #costreduction #greenenergy #mobility #solidstatebatteries #batteries #sustainability

Honored to be among the SET100 Berlin finalists! Basquevolt is grateful to the organizers of the Start Up Energy Transition, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, the German Energy Agency (dena), The World Energy Council and EIT InnoEnergy for an outstanding event!  We are proud to have been selected among the top 15 finalists from over 350 companies and to have reached the top 3 in the Mobility & Transportation category. Congratulations to Nyobolt, the winner of this category! Beyond the competition, the event provided incredible networking opportunities, allowing us to connect with key players in the energy transition. Special thanks go to Nicolas BOZEK for representing BASQUEVOLT and the entire team behind the SET Tech Festival for facilitating these valuable exchanges.  It was a privilege to take part in yesterday’s meeting with representatives from the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action, where we discussed the crucial role of innovation in building a more sustainable future.

“If I have to choose one contribution of women in the workplace; I would go for women's adaptability and ability to continuously innovate and evolve.” On International Women's Day, we stand by the UN's mission to accelerate gender equality. At Basquevolt, we celebrate the women shaping the future and continue working towards a more inclusive, equal industry. Because when we empower women, we power progress. This year we're giving our own team the chance to tell their experiences as women in their work field, starting with Janire Sastre Sedano, Project Buyer at Basquevolt. Thank you for sharing your story with us Janire! #IWD2025 #SharingYourEnergy #SharingYourPower #solidstatebatteries #batteries #modules #batterypacks #EV #mobility #electrification #retrofit #sustainability

No, it’s not just a phase. Interphase engineering is where chemistry, physics, and materials science converge to unlock higher energy densities, longer cycle life, and dendrite-free performance. But tackling electrode-electrolyte interfaces isn’t easy, it’s an intricate dance of stability, conductivity, and reactivity. Learn all about what our Electrolyte R&D Manager, Michał Piszcz, and Anode Engineer, Khaled Mohammadi, face working in this area on the newest number of our You Ask We Deliver series! #SEI #interphase #solidstatebatteries #batteries #modules #batterypacks #EV #mobility #electrification #retrofit #sustainability
