Through our joint efforts, we aim to develop and manufacture batteries that will find their way into countless households in Europe. We strive to play a pivotal role in achieving the continent’s carbon neutrality goals by 2050».

Our partnership with Gotion High Tech heralds a new era in significant value creation through collaborative win-win alliances, helping to close the gap between Asian battery leaders and the rest of the world. GIB will unlock the full potential of Europe and our neighbours in the EMEA region in delivering localised Net Zero closed loop circular battery value-chains for e-mobility as well as superior energy storage solutions.  GIB will nurture and grow InoBat‘s strategic premise and ethos for customised bespoke R&D to deliver safe high performance batteries and green energy solutions».
