NANOXPLORE RECEIVES UP TO $2.75M CONTRIBUTION FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA

Nanoxplore Inc. has received a contribution of up to $2.75-million from the government of Canada under the energy innovation program. This support will help advance the development of ultrahigh-power cylindrical-format lithium-ion cells for defence and power tools, strengthening Canada's leadership in clean technology and battery innovation.

The announcement was made last Friday by Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, as part of a broader investment supporting eight projects across the country. These projects are designed to accelerate battery innovation and expand domestic production capacity, positioning Canada as a global player in the clean energy transition.

"This contribution allows us to move faster in developing and scaling our product, which is designed to improve battery performance in demanding applications such as power tools, large portables and defence systems where ultrahigh-power output is critical," said Soroush Nazarpour, president and chief executive officer of Nanoxplore. "We are proud to be part of Canada's growing battery ecosystem and to contribute to the clean energy future."

The EIP provides funding to accelerate the development of clean energy technologies that will drive down emissions, improve competitiveness and create sustainable economic opportunities for Canadians.
