EU battery electric vehicle sales rose 32.5% year-on-year, providing a strong tailwind for the technology.\n\nWith 27 evaluation agreements already generating modest sampling revenue, Purdy says the focus over the next 12 months is converting those relationships into larger-scale manufacturing agreements.\n\nWatch the full interview for insights into Ilika’s commercial roadmap, battery technology strategy and upcoming milestones ahead of its FY2026 results in July.\n\nVisit the Proactive YouTube channel for more interviews and market insights.
