Korea's Ecosystem.
U.S. Manufacturing.
IRA Compliant.

China controls approximately 80% of the global Li-ion battery supply chain. Western battery companies that attempted to build domestic capacity from scratch have largely failed — not from lack of capital, but from lack of manufacturing know-how.

NLT's model is different. We leverage Korea's world-class battery ecosystem — advanced materials, proven process know-how, and cell production capacity — as a technology transfer hub feeding U.S. manufacturing. This is the most pragmatic, capital-efficient path to IRA-compliant domestic battery production.

Our Korean subsidiary serves as the central integration point for our partner ecosystem, with a pilot line delivering 250,000–300,000 cells/year before U.S. scale-up.

"Korea holds the second-strongest lithium-ion battery ecosystem in the world — combining advanced materials, world-class equipment, deep process know-how, and proven cell production capacity."

01

Technology Transfer Gateway

Korea-based pilot line proves cell production at scale before U.S. replication — eliminating the manufacturing risk that has felled every previous U.S. battery startup.

02

Governance & Asset-Backed Security

NLT's equity stake provides board control over Korean operations — securing investment against equipment, land, and plant, not unsecured promises.

03

FEOC-Compliant Supply Chain

All materials sourced from Korean partners — zero Chinese supply dependency from Day 1. Fully compliant with IRA Section 45X and DoD non-Chinese sourcing requirements.

04

Demand-First Revenue Model

Purchase order commitments secured before production scale-up — creating partner alignment and de-risking capital deployment throughout the program.

Market Focus

Defense. Commercial. Both.

NLT targets high-growth segments where non-Chinese battery sourcing is a structural requirement — insulating revenue from IRA policy uncertainty while accessing premium margins.

🛡️

Defense & Government

Priority Segment
  • U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) — non-Chinese supply chain is a structural mandate, not a preference
  • Unmanned aerial systems (UAS / drones) — high energy density, long endurance, extreme reliability
  • eVTOL & advanced air mobility — 400–500 Wh/kg lithium metal chemistry enabling extended range
  • Military robotics & AI platforms — Korea-sourced, FEOC-compliant materials meet classified procurement requirements
  • Wearables & soldier power systems — lightweight, high-cycle cells for field deployment

Commercial & Industrial

High Growth
  • Industrial & stationary storage — NCM-LTO solutions with 15,000+ cycle life and 6C–20C fast charge
  • Light electric vehicles — electric motorcycles, scooters, micro-mobility with high gravimetric energy density
  • Aviation — eVTOL operators requiring 260–350 Wh/kg prismatic cells
  • AI & robotics — high-performance cells for autonomous systems and edge AI hardware
  • OEM supply chain — IRA-compliant, U.S.-manufactured cells for domestic automotive and industrial OEMs

Investor Information

Korea–USA Battery Platform

NLT is seeking strategic investors to participate in the Korea integration and U.S. scale-up phase. Our equity governance structure delivers intervention rights, asset-backed security, and KOSDAQ value appreciation — advantages no alliance-based competitor can match.

Phase 1  ·  M1–M3

Korea Platform Setup

Equity investment into Korean KOSDAQ entity securing 40–51% board control. Legal due diligence, IP documentation, MOU execution with all Korean partners. Purchase order pipeline formalized before capital deployment.

Phase 2  ·  M4–M9

Technology Transfer & Pilot Production

CWB Prismatic cell pilot line operational in Korea. NLT engineering team embedded on-site for minimum 6 months. Gate criterion: ≥90% cell pass rate before U.S. scale-up decision.

Phase 3  ·  M10–M18

U.S. Plant Setup & IRA Compliance

Mirror proven Korea production line at NLT U.S. facility with Korean technical team support. Secure IRA Section 45X Advanced Manufacturing Tax Credit. FEOC-compliant supply chain from Day 1. IRA rollback contingency plan maintained.

Phase 4  ·  M19–M24

Capital Expansion & Revenue

Korean VC second-round funding ($8–$12M) leveraging production milestones. Commercial purchase order deliveries to defense and commercial customers. KOSDAQ IR roadshow to drive valuation uplift.

Structural Advantage vs. Alliance Models

Unlike alliance-based battery platforms, NLT's equity governance structure provides direct intervention rights at the board level, asset-backed capital security, and the ability to direct sub-partner relationships — the critical advantage that alliance structures cannot replicate when quality or delivery issues arise.

Korean Partner Ecosystem

Integrated Supply Chain

NLT's Korean entity acts as the central node connecting specialized Korean partners into a coordinated, FEOC-compliant supply chain — governed by NLT board authority.

Cathode Materials Partner

Cathode Materials & Cell Chemistry

Cathode electrode materials and cell chemistry expertise supporting NLT's high-Ni NCM and NCA product series.

Electrode Processing Partner

Electrode Processing

Advanced electrode processing and high-capacity cathode systems — materials benchmarked against Chinese equivalents and documented as technically superior.

Equipment & Automation Partner

Equipment & Automation

Battery equipment, automation, and production line technology supporting pilot-to-production scale-up in Korea and the NLT U.S. facility mirror build-out.

Cell Manufacturing Partner

Cell Manufacturing

Cell manufacturing capability at Korea facility — supporting CWB Prismatic production ramp and technology validation through the pilot phase.

Why NLT

Built to Avoid the Mistakes
That Killed Others

A123, Northvolt, Proterra, 24M — each failed not from lack of capital, but from premature U.S. scale-up without proven process know-how. NLT's model is designed differently.

🔬

Korea-first, U.S.-second

Pilot production validated in Korea before any U.S. scale-up decision. The ≥90% cell pass rate gate eliminates the manufacturing risk that destroyed Northvolt despite $15B in funding.

🏛️

Board control, not contracts

As the largest KOSDAQ shareholder (40–51%), NLT can intervene directly at the governance level — unlike alliance models that have no recourse when partners underperform.

🛡️

Defense-anchored demand

DoD and drone/eVTOL customers create revenue independent of IRA policy — structurally hedging against EV incentive rollback that threatens conventional U.S. battery plans.

🔗

Zero China dependency

FEOC-compliant supply chain from Day 1. Korean materials outperform Chinese equivalents in benchmarking — turning compliance into a commercial advantage for DoD customers.

📈

Asset-backed investment

Investment secured by Korean entity's equipment, land, and plant — not unsecured promises. KOSDAQ listing provides additional valuation and liquidity pathway for investors.

🌍

Full-stack capabilities

NLT operates across materials (cathode, anode), cell development, and scale-up manufacturing — with engineering presence in the USA, Korea, Japan, and China.
