UK battery company EQONIC Group has won a grant from the UK government’s Battery Innovation Programme, a £452-million initiative run by Innovate UK and the Department for Business and Trade.

The funding will support development of a full-stack digital twin of EQONIC’s proprietary manufacturing process and a reconfigurable production and disassembly line designed to handle battery assembly and end-of-life processing within the same industrial framework. The digital twin is intended to optimize manufacturing efficiency, reduce batch variability, and demonstrate scalability to potential manufacturing partners. EQONIC is working with Ellaniti, a manufacturing strategy consultancy, to support industrialization planning.

“This programme is one of the most rigorous technical and commercial assessments in the UK battery sector,” said Jas Kandola, CEO of EQONIC Group. “Our selection validates not just our technology, but our commercial model.”
