About InoBat

InoBat – Powering the Future of Mobility, Aviation, and Energy

InoBat is a European next-generation battery innovator specializing in the research, development, and manufacturing of premium, tailor-made energy solutions for the automotive, aviation, motorsport, defense, and energy sectors. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Bratislava, Slovakia, InoBat’s unique "cell-to-application" approach customizes high-performance battery cells to meet specific customer needs, delivering superior performance, faster charging, and longer lifespan. 

Unlike large Asian battery manufacturers focused on mass production, InoBat operates in specialized, high-value market niches where customization, flexibility, and premium performance are critical. As a result, InoBat is not directly in competition with large volume-driven Asian players. 

Following multiple successful investment rounds—including a €100 million Series C1 and C2 closed in January 2025, the largest technology investment in Slovakia to date—InoBat is backed by major global players such as Gotion High-Tech, Amara Raja, Rio Tinto, and the Slovak government via Slovak Investment Holding. 

InoBat's industrial footprint includes Volta I, a Customer Qualification Plant (CQP) in Voderady has a capacity to produce 50,000 cells annually, supplying high-energy batteries for UAVs and electric aviation sectors. Projects under development include Volta II, a mini-gigafactory scaling capacity up to 8 GWh, focused on eVTOL, drone, and automotive markets; and a 20 GWh gigafactory in Šurany, Slovakia, developed in joint venture with Gotion High-Tech and anchored by a major nomination agreement with Volkswagen. In parallel, InoBat is advancing into the rapidly growing Energy Storage Systems (ESS) sector, further strengthening its role in Europe’s clean energy and mobility transition.
