What Tiamat does
Tiamat is a French deep-technology company founded in 2017 as a spin-off of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), built on nearly a decade of academic sodium-ion battery research conducted within the RS2E network. The company designs, develops, industrializes, and sells sodium-ion battery cells for power and high-power applications — a segment it identifies as underserved by mainstream lithium-ion technology. Its chemistry is based on hard carbon anodes and Prussian blue analogue cathodes, eliminating dependence on lithium, cobalt, nickel, and graphite. This positions the technology to address both projected lithium extraction and refining capacity shortfalls by 2030 and the geostrategic supply chain risks of conventional lithium-ion batteries. Tiamat holds an exclusive worldwide license to the CNRS sodium-ion patent portfolio, dynamically updated as new academic filings emerge.\n\nThe product portfolio consists of two cell formats: high-performance cylindrical sodium-ion cells targeting power tools and small electromechanical systems, and high-power, long-life prismatic sodium-ion cells targeting automotive and stationary storage applications. Differentiated performance characteristics include high power density, long lifetime, extreme safety, and ultra-fast charge capability. In 2023, Tiamat became the first company globally to commercialize a sodium-ion battery cell in a consumer product, recording its first significant commercial orders in the power tools (électroportatif) and stationary storage sectors. The company is currently preparing to build Europe's first sodium-ion gigafactory in Boves (ZAC Jules Verne 2, near Amiens), with planned 5 GWh production capacity by end of 2030 and production targeted to begin around 2027.\n\nTiamat operates a direct B2B enterprise sales model with no public pricing; revenue is generated through hardware sales of cells and packs on a quote/project basis to automotive OEMs (e.g., Stellantis), Tier 1 suppliers, industrial equipment manufacturers, data center operators, and railway/mobility companies. The company is anchored by strategic industrial shareholders — Stellantis Ventures, Arkema, MBDA, and most recently Endeavour Inspired Infrastructure (joined June 2025) — with the Endeavour partnership specifically targeting AI data center and power grid applications. Tiamat is supported by the French Tech 2030 program and has completed three disclosed fundraising rounds, with operations scaled to approximately 30 employees as of 2025 across R&D, industrialization, production, supply chain, and commercial functions.

Tiamat competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Altris: Swedish sodium-ion battery cell developer using Prussian blue analogue cathodes and hard carbon anodes — the same core chemistry platform as Tiamat. Altris is the closest direct peer in Europe targeting similar cell formats and stationary/mobility applications.
- Natron Energy: US-based sodium-ion battery company using Prussian blue analogue chemistry, focused on stationary storage, data center UPS, and fast-charging applications. Directly comparable to Tiamat on chemistry, target segments (UPS, EV fast charge), and commercialization stage.
- Faradion: UK-based sodium-ion battery developer (acquired by Reliance Industries) working on layered oxide cathode chemistry. Targets mobility and stationary storage applications comparable to Tiamat's product roadmap, now backed by a large industrial parent.
- HiNa Battery: Chinese sodium-ion battery company (spun off from the Chinese Academy of Sciences) that was the first in China to commercialize sodium-ion cells for electric two-wheelers and stationary storage. Comparable as an early-stage sodium-ion peer with similar form factors and end markets.
Emerging players
- Northvolt: Swedish battery manufacturer building European gigafactories (primarily Li-ion) but actively researching sodium-ion chemistries. Comparable as a European battery scale-up with similar end-market ambition, though currently differentiated by its Li-ion focus and recent financial restructuring.
- Verkor: French battery cell manufacturer building a gigafactory in Dunkirk with backing from Renault, among others. Comparable to Tiamat as a European battery scale-up pursuing automotive and stationary customers under French/EU industrial policy support, though focused on Li-ion.
- ACC (Automotive Cells Company): European battery joint venture (Stellantis, TotalEnergies, Mercedes-Benz) building gigafactories in France and Germany. Comparable as a European battery scale-up competing for the same automotive OEM customers as Tiamat, particularly Stellantis.
Broad incumbents
- CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology): World's largest battery manufacturer and a leader in sodium-ion commercialization, having launched sodium-ion cells for automotive and stationary applications. A broad incumbent that dwarfs Tiamat on scale, capex, and customer base but competes in the same sodium-ion category.
- BYD: Vertically integrated Chinese battery and EV manufacturer that has launched sodium-ion battery products and is building dedicated sodium-ion production capacity. Comparable as a broad incumbent with deep automotive customer relationships and aggressive sodium-ion commercialization.
- Reliance New Energy (Reliance Industries): Indian conglomerate that acquired Faradion and is building a fully integrated sodium-ion battery value chain. Comparable as a strategic investor/operator pursuing sodium-ion scale-up in mobility and stationary applications across multiple geographies.
