Travel funding (2026), Canada, SCID 2026, 5 October

Purpose and goal

The aim of the project is to establish strategic partnerships with Canadian companies, research actors and potential investors in energy storage and advanced materials technology. The goal is to identify relevant development partners for material development, component supply, battery testing and future pilot projects. The project will result in qualified contacts and concrete next steps, such as technical follow-up meetings, joint evaluations or project proposals.

Expected effects and result

The project is expected to result in qualified contacts with Canadian companies, research actors and potential investors, as well as identify concrete opportunities for collaboration in materials development, component supply, battery testing and pilot projects. Expected effects are a strengthened international network and better conditions for continued technology verification, scaling up and commercialization of Novohydro´s nickel–hydrogen-based battery technology.

Planned approach and implementation

The project is implemented through participation in Sweden–Canada Innovation Days in Toronto. During the trip, Novohydro will participate in individual matchmaking meetings, company and study visits, conference activities and organized networking. Novohydro will present the company´s nickel–hydrogen battery technology, technical focus and current development needs. The meetings will be used to identify and evaluate potential research partners and discuss collaborations in materials development.
