Ensurge and Corning Partner to Develop Ultra-High Energy Density Solid-State Microbatteries for Medical Applications
核心洞察
Ensurge Micropower and Corning Incorporated (搜索) announced a joint development agreement to integrate Corning's ribbon ceramic materials (搜索) with Ensurge's solid-state microbattery (搜索) architecture for ultra-high energy density applications.
The collaboration targets high-volume consumer, medical, industrial, and defense applications, with Corning providing up to $15 million in total investment through engineering services and warrant exercises.
Corning will contribute engineering resources convertible to shares at NOK 1.11 per share, with additional warrants allowing up to $10 million investment at NOK 1.50 per share over two years.
Ensurge Micropower ASA (搜索), a leader in solid-state microbattery (搜索) technology, has entered into strategic agreements with materials science innovator Corning Incorporated (搜索) to jointly develop ultra-high performance solid-state microbatteries. The collaboration announced on November 3, 2025, establishes a framework to integrate Corning's ribbon ceramic materials (搜索) and process technology with Ensurge's proven solid-state microbattery architecture.
Strategic Partnership Framework
The joint development agreement creates a foundation for delivering ultra-high energy density product line extensions targeting high-volume consumer, medical, industrial, and defense applications. Corning's contribution includes process and manufacturing excellence alongside deep materials science expertise, which when paired with Ensurge's solid-state microbattery (搜索) platform, strengthens the company's path to scale.
"Ensurge and Corning share a drive for excellence in innovation and manufacturing," said Ron Verkleeren, Senior Vice President of Corning's Emerging Innovations Group. "We're looking forward to collaborating with Ensurge to help advance microbattery technology."
Investment Structure and Terms
Under the investment agreement, Corning will provide engineering and other resources to Ensurge, with costs convertible into new shares through set-off of accounts receivable. Following each quarter, these costs convert to shares at a predetermined price of NOK 1.11 per share, calculated based on the average closing price over the 10 trading days prior to agreement execution. The maximum convertible amount through this mechanism is $5 million.
Additionally, Ensurge will issue warrants to Corning with an exercise price of NOK 1.50 per share, allowing Corning to invest up to $10 million over a two-year period following approval by an extraordinary general meeting. The warrants will be granted at no charge and registered in the VPS system but will not trade on Euronext Oslo Børs.
Technology Integration and Market Impact
The partnership combines Corning's ribbon ceramic materials (搜索) and process technology with Ensurge's thin-film batteries produced on high-precision roll-to-roll production lines. This integration aims to create transformative advances for powering next-generation smart devices across multiple sectors.
"Collaborating with an industry pioneer like Corning represents an important strategic milestone for Ensurge," said Shauna McIntyre, CEO of Ensurge. "Together, we're applying Corning's materials science leadership to Ensurge's solid-state microbattery (搜索) platform, creating a foundation for transformative advances that will power the next generation of smart devices."
Commercialization Path
The collaboration provides Ensurge with improved execution confidence, greater assurance in commercialization, and a stronger foundation for long-term growth. Ensurge's solid-state microbattery (搜索) technology enables new possibilities in form-factor-constrained applications, particularly relevant for AI-enabled devices requiring advanced power solutions.
The warrant exercises remain subject to the joint development agreement or subsequent commercial agreement between the companies remaining in effect, ensuring continued collaboration throughout the development process.
Regulatory Approval Process
The issue of warrants and authorization to issue conversion shares requires approval by an extraordinary general meeting, which Ensurge plans to convene shortly. The company hosted a webcast presentation on November 3, 2025, to discuss the partnership details with investors, analysts, and stakeholders.
