CSEM opens Switzerland’s first dry room to advance next-gen batteries

  • CSEM has inaugurated a dry room unlike anything in the country, a start-of-the-art facility for assembling and prototyping cutting-edge batteries. 
  • Equipped with a pilot production line, this new infrastructure will play a crucial role in fast-tracking the commercialization of next-generation batteries. 
  • A dedicated section of the room is reserved for start-ups and small- and medium sized businesses (SMEs), providing them with strategic opportunities while lowering the risk and costs of innovation.
