HPQ Silicon Partners With French Military For Batteries To Power Soldiers

AGORACOM Small Cap CEO Interviews

Key Milestones and Market Prospects

• Strategic Partnerships: Collaboration with the French Army's Technical Section (STAT) underscores market confidence and expands pathways for military and civilian applications globally.

• Technological Breakthroughs: First prototype using GEN3 or GEN4 silicon-anode cells to be delivered in Q1 2025, with plans for rigorous military-grade testing.

• Commercialization Pathway: Full patent ownership for high-throughput silicon anode manufacturing strengthens HPQ's licensing strategy and supports scalability with European gigafactories.

A Strategic Alliance with the French Army

HPQ Silicon Inc., through its subsidiary Novacium SAS, has entered into a groundbreaking partnership with the French Army's Technical Section to develop high-capacity silicon-based batteries. These batteries will address critical military needs across applications such as surveillance systems, anti-drone technologies, tactical communications, and autonomous vehicles.

Novacium’s advanced silicon-anode materials enable a 30% increase in battery capacity, significantly extending operational range while reducing the load soldiers carry—key improvements for mission effectiveness.

Bernard Tourillon, President and CEO of HPQ Silicon Inc. and NOVACIUM SAS

“This strategic collaboration with STAT marks an important first step toward the commercialization of our silicon-based anode materials.
