Ilika plc is pursuing its strategy of developing and commercialising its cutting-
edge solid-state batteries for a wide range of applications. Our mission is to own
the critical design and manufacturing intellectual property (IP), manufacture and
sell solid-state batteries in low to medium volumes and license our IP for high 
volume manufacture. Our batteries use ceramic-based lithium-ion technology that 
is inherently safe and stable in manufacture and usage and offers high performance
which differentiates our products from existing batteries.
