With just 14 employees, NorcSi is a fast mover in this field. The founders deliberately opted for Weinberg Campus Technology Park as their base. “We have ideal conditions for our labs and pilot facility here, and we’ve been able to recruit much of our team from among the research community in Halle (Saale), especially through our cooperation with Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg,” Reichmann explains.

Weinberg Campus is the largest science and research hub in Central Germany, focusing on life sciences, biomedicine and materials science. More than 100 companies and institutes are based there with a total of some 6,000 employees.

Despite the huge momentum in the race for the future of energy storage, the NorcSi founders are confident that if an electric car can drive 1,000 miles on a single charge in four years’ time, it will be thanks to a NorcSi silicon anode.
