Nature-inspired EV batteries — Virginia Klausmeier, CEO of Sylvatex

Led by Virginia Klausmeier, Sylvatex is a climate tech company utilizing sustainable chemistry & materials science to accelerate the shift to the electrification of transportation. We do this by massively increasing EV material production throughput while lowering the cost and carbon footprint of the biggest bottleneck in the lithium-ion battery, the cathode.
