[LON:IKA](https://www.directorstalkinterviews.com/company/ilika-plc/ika.l)) CFO 
Steve Boydell talks to DirectorsTalk about its latest results. With revenues doubling
and indications that there is increased commercial momentum Steve explains the measures
to ensure this will be sustained. With three developments being named and a split
between medical and industrial we ask if this reflects a broader expression of interest
in this technology, if China is an important jurisdiction and how Ilika will protect
its IP there, the importance of large format batteries and details around a placing
and open offer.

Company has been inventing new materials for energy and electronics markets for 
over a decade, including in automotive, aeronautical and electronic components sectors.
Global brands such as Rolls Royce and Toyota collaborate with Ilika’s development
teams to create innovative products or improve the performance of existing components.

ground-breaking solid-state batteries to meet the specific demands of a wide range
of applications in the Internet of Things (IoT).

for the Smart Home/Building; Medical; Automotive and Transportation sectors around
the world. Ilika’s StereaxÒ battery technology IP family offers compelling advantages
