The first application of this model focuses on cathode active material synthesis for next-generation lithium and sodium-ion batteries.
NiCAT’s technology accelerates the global shift toward clean, circular, and data-driven manufacturing. By enabling faster and more sustainable production of battery materials, it supports the growth of electric mobility, renewable energy storage, and recycling industries. Our AI-driven approach reduces chemical waste, CO₂ emissions, and resource dependency by re-introducing critical metals such as nickel, cobalt, and manganese back into the production cycle. In the long term, NiCAT aims to make green chemistry and smart manufacturing accessible to both developed and emerging economies—helping create a more sustainable and energy-independent society.
NiCAT is structuring its fundraising in phased investment rounds to align with project milestones and value growth. Phase 1: Seeking USD 250,000 at a USD 25 million valuation (1% equity) to expand pilot production and enhance AI-data infrastructure. Phase 2: Targeting USD 300,000 at a USD 30 million valuation to accelerate U.S. market entry and establish new industrial partnerships. Full Round Goal: Ultimately, NiCAT aims to raise USD 4 million at a USD 50 million valuation to scale its Material/Process/Recipe Commercialisation as a Service (MP-CaaS) model globally. This staged approach allows investors to join early with lower entry points while supporting NiCAT’s transition from pilot-scale validation to large-scale commercialization.
The total size of NiCAT’s investment round is USD 4 million, based on a USD 50 million target valuation. This round will fund the global scale-up of our Material/Process/Recipe Commercialisation as a Service (MP-CaaS) platform, expansion of our AI-driven digital reactor infrastructure, and commercialization partnerships in the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
