Ilika PLC (AIM:IKA, OTCQX:ILIKF) CEO Graeme Purdy talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the new PRIMED programme and its role in advancing the company’s solid-state battery development. Purdy explained that the PRIMED programme provides vital support for delivering one of the key milestones in the Goliath roadmap — the production of 50Ah A-Sample batteries. “The PRIMED program is a fantastic piece of support … to deliver one of the key milestones of the Goliath roadmap,” he said. Achieving this requires large-scale production equipment, and Ilika is collaborating with the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UK BIC) to make this possible. He added that Ilika is also working with HSSMI to create a production-scale model. This will deliver insights into cost modelling, operational processes, and provide a business case review for Gigafactory-scale manufacturing. One of the most significant aspects of the collaboration, according to Purdy, is the expert industrial input being provided by Jaguar Land Rover and Professor Paul Shearing of Oxford University. Their role on the steering committee will help guide design and process decisions as the company moves towards its P2 release. Looking ahead, Purdy noted that investors can expect announcements on technical progress, prototype testing, and possible new commercial collaborations over the next 12 months.
