The Executive MBA programmes at Cambridge

Today, as part of Cambridge Ecosystem Week, we had the privilege of visiting Nyobolt, a University of Cambridge spin-out that is redefining what is possible in battery technology.

Nyobolt is pioneering ultrafast, end-to-end fast charge lithium batteries. Their breakthrough anode technology tackles one of the biggest challenges in electrification: downtime.

From physical AI and autonomous robotics to heavy-duty vehicles and power grids, Nyobolt’s innovations are helping enable:

- Near-continuous operation with minimal charging downtime
- Greater grid stability and resilience
- New possibilities for high-performance, electrified systems

A huge thank you to George Kapellos and Peter Gilhead for hosting us, sharing your insights and showcasing how deep tech from Cambridge can scale into solutions with global impact.
