BTRY: Redefining energy storage solutions
Channel: Venturelab TV
Date: 2024-03-28

Meet BTRY's co-founders CEO Moritz Futscher and CTO Abdessalem Aribia developing a solid-state battery that solves conventional Lithium-ion battery problems: It can be recharged within one minute, is non-flammable, and works even in extreme temperatures.

CEO Dr. Moritz Futscher and CTO Dr. Abdessalem Aribia founded the company together with Dr. Yaroslav Romanyuk as a scientific advisor in 2023 as a spin-off of EMPA and ETH Zurich. Their thin-film solid-state battery is made of thin-film cells that are stacked on top of each other to increase their capacity. This distinctive high-precision semiconductor manufacturing method enhances the battery’s promise for commercial applications and is also entirely solvent-free, making it a more environmentally friendly choice. The company initially focuses on Internet of Things applications, with plans for later expansions into consumer electronics, robotics, and aerospace. These areas represent a battery market size in the billions of USD. 
The team plans to use the Venture Kick funds to kick-start their transition from a spin-off in a research environment to a VC-funded company.
