Unbound Potential

Proud to announce that we are now part of the iBAT Association! 🔋   We strongly support their mission to unite industries, authorities, and research institutions across the entire energy storage value chain – from manufacturing to recycling – to enhance Switzerland's competitiveness in the energy sector.   We recently participated in two events organized by them:   This October, Empa hosted the iBAT Redox Flow Batteries Workshop, where Anetta Platek-Mielczarek, Dr. Eng. and Federico Paratore represented Unbound Potential and delivered a talk on redox flow systems based on liquid-liquid interfaces. Thank you David Reber and Corsin Battaglia for hosting the event and pushing this strategic collaboration forward!   This week, our co-founders Anetta Platek-Mielczarek, Dr. Eng. and Emilio Dal Re attended the 5th annual iBAT Association conference at the SBB CFF FFS Headquarters in Bern. It was an inspiring day that brought together industry leaders, innovators, and passionate professionals from across Switzerland's battery industry. A special thanks to Uwe Seidel, program manager at #IPCEI European Battery Innovation, for his fascinating keynote speech on the landscape of the European battery industry, and to Martin Vinzens, CEO at Indrivetec AG, for the insights on the second life of battery storage systems.   We are excited about the insightful discussions (Shahab Eghbali, Ph.D. from COMSOL, Inc., Mohammed SROUT, Ph.D. from CSEM, Phani Kumar Yalamanchili from Oerlikon Surface Solutions, Christian Wagner-Boysen from CKW, and many more) and we are even more committed to accelerating the journey from innovative ideas to final product. Thanks to the organizers: Sigita Trabesinger, Andreas Hutter, Dr.-Ing.

🌍 Bringing Together Key Stakeholders Across the Energy Sector 🌍   At Unbound Potential, we are on a mission to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy sources, decarbonize the electricity grid, and speed up the transition to a net-zero economy. To drive meaningful change, we are convinced that the key to success lies in connecting industry leaders and innovators across both commercial and research environments. This is why UP recently presented at two important local events:   At the Swiss Physical Society (SPS) Annual Meeting 2024, where our company was invited to discuss the pivotal role that physics and physicists play in developing a product, co-founder Federico Paratore represented UP and shared the technical steps we are undertaking to develop our solution.   A few days later, at the Solar & Storage Live Zürich, co-founder Pier Giuseppe Rivano gave a talk about the role of UP's innovative storage solution in the context of the latest developments in solar technology, connecting with a diverse audience of installers, commercial leaders, and industrial customers. This event served as a powerful platform to support industrial actors seeking truly sustainable solar and storage solutions to drive local change.   If you also share our mission and want to be part of this transformation, share your thoughts with us – which aspects are crucial yet overlooked when developing impactful products?   #EnergyRevolution #OpenInnovation #Sustainability #SolarEnergy #EnergyStorage #PhysicsInStartups

🚀 Exciting times at the 6th Swiss Battery Days! 🚀 Hosted by Empa, PSI Paul Scherrer Institut, and the iBAT Association, the event took place in August 26-28 at ETH Zürich. Covering a wide range of topics - from the synthesis and characterization of battery materials to their integration into electrodes and cells - the conference also delved into cell manufacturing and innovative battery technologies. On the last day, our CEO, David Taylor, represented Unbound Potential in the startup session and talked about our membrane-less technology! ⚡💡 Thanks to the organizing committee: Corsin Battaglia, David Reber, Sigita Trabesinger and to the rest of the speakers from startup session for sharing their insights: Moritz H. Futscher, Paul Baade, Clara Moldovan. We are looking forward to the next-year edition! #EnergyStorage #Innovation #SwissBatteryDays #Disruptors #FutureOfEnergy #conference #networking #startuplife #startup

Unbound Potential is one of the winners of Amazon Sustainability Accelerator! 🚀🔋 We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Amazon to pilot our innovative energy storage solution in one of their European logistics centers! As one of the winners of their sustainability accelerator, we will be working together with Amazon to help them transition to renewables and decarbonize their operations! Our CEO, David Taylor, captured our excitement in an interview with Handelsblatt: "There couldn't be a better partnership for our market entry than this pilot project with Amazon. The advantages of our battery solution perfectly match Amazon's storage needs." This is a huge milestone for us at Unbound Potential, and we can't wait to see where this journey takes us! 🌍⚡ A big thank you to Handelsblatt and Jakob Blume for featuring our story! 🙏 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dEeaxMfQ #Innovation #EnergyStorage #AmazonSustainabilityAccelerator #Decarbonization #Renewables #Impact

Celebrating SPRIND Model 🎉 Last week, SPRIND - Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen (the German Agency for Disruptive Innovation) marked its fifth anniversary! As our earliest financial supporter, SPRIND has grown to become one of the top five agencies in the world in terms of annual budget dedicated to disruptive innovation (source: Nature https://lnkd.in/e6Q5hwKc). We are proud to be one of the few companies selected by them from 2,100 applicants to receive over €3M in funding. Their support has been instrumental in helping us make a significant leap in both our technology and product development, and we are incredibly grateful! But SPRIND model goes beyond that… #innovation, specifically in the #energy and #climate space, transcends any form of border, and its global impact cannot be denied. Cross-country collaboration is not just beneficial, it’s essential! Shining examples of this are (1) the memorandum of understanding signed between SPRIND and the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF)’s Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships (NSF TIP) last week in Leipzig, and (2) the synergies between SPRIND and the EU's policy framework as stated by SPRIND director Rafael Laguna de la Vera in an interview about the "Report on the Competitiveness of the European Union" by former ECB president Mario Draghi (read more here: https://lnkd.in/egqzvvvw). At Unbound Potential, we are excited and honored to be part of this historical moment as we continue advancing our radically simple #LDES technology to be market ready. We can't wait to see what the future holds! ✨ #Innovation #SPRIND #DisruptiveInnovation #EnergyStorage #Sustainability #NSF #TransatlanticPartnership #climatetech #grantsfunding

🔋🔑 Breaking out of challenges and charging towards innovation! 🚀🔋   A few weeks ago, we took some time to challenge ourselves outside the lab at an escape challenge in Luzern.
