During Battery World 2023, SES AI anticipates announcing several
exciting new developments, including:
- Officially entering the world’s first B-sample Joint
Development Agreement (JDA) with a major automotive OEM (a key
milestone for Li-Metal commercialization and the future of
transportation)
- A new form factor for its Li-Metal battery cells
- New initiatives to launch Li-Metal batteries for the Urban Air
Mobility (UAM) market
In addition to the aforementioned topics, SES AI expects to
detail many other exciting initiatives.
“Battery World 2023 will be our most exciting event since our
inaugural Battery World in 2021 when we first demonstrated our
large capacity Li-Metal automotive cells that had energy density of
~400 Wh/Kg . At that time, we became the world’s first Li-Metal
cell manufacturer to enter into an automotive A-sample JDA. We are
now the world’s first to enter an automotive B-sample JDA for
Li-Metal batteries. This achievement was the culmination of
fundamental breakthroughs in material chemistry and cell
engineering that led to a significant improvement in Li-Metal
practical safety,” said Founder and CEO Qichao Hu. “Entering into
an automotive B-sample is a major milestone towards the
commercialization of Li-Metal batteries and the future of
electrified transportation on land and in the air.”
Battery World 2023 will take place at the following times:
- US session: 9am EST, December 12, 2023
- Korea session: 10am KST, December 13, 2023
- China session: 10am BJ Time, December 13, 2023

“forecast”, “intend”, “may”, “might”, “plan”, “possible”,
“potential”, “predict”, “project”, “seek”, “should”, “strive”,
“target”, “will”, “would” and similar expressions may identify

risks: risks related to the development and commercialization of
SES’s battery technology and the timing and achievement of expected
business milestones; risks relating to the uncertainty of achieving
and maintaining profitability; risks relating to the uncertainty of
meeting future capital requirements; the ability of SES to
integrate its products into electric vehicles (“EVs”) and Urban Air
Mobility (“UAM") and other applications; the risk that delays in
the pre-manufacturing development of SES’s battery cells could
adversely affect SES’s business and prospects; potential supply
chain difficulties; the ability of SES to engage target original
equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) customers successfully and
integrate SES’s products into EVs manufactured by OEM customers;
the ability to obtain raw materials, components or equipment
through new or existing supply relationships; risks resulting from
SES’s joint development agreements and other strategic alliances
and investments; product liability and other potential litigation,
regulation and legal compliance; SES’s ability to attract, train
and retain highly skilled employees and key personnel; the
uncertainty in global economic conditions and risks relating to
health epidemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic and any
operational interruptions; developments in alternative technology

operations outside the United States; SES has identified material
weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting and may
