China currently represents around 25 percent of Iontra’s international opportunity and is Asia’s fastest growing market. Business development consultancy Intralink, based in Shanghai, has an important presence in the region, including in locations such as Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, Singapore and Bangkok.

US-based Iontra has ambitious growth plans following its Series C funding round in November 2024. The company has developed patented intelligent battery sensing and charge control algorithms that enable real time sensing of battery health and optimise the charging process for lithium-ion batteries. They can quadruple battery life cycles and double charging speeds. The technology also improves battery safety by being able to sense degradation early, reducing damage at rest and during charging, as well as enabling safer charging at low temperatures.

Iontra’s solutions are scalable to suit different budgets. The company can offer software-only options or provide its technology as embedded firmware on a microcontroller unit (MCU) via its IONTIC MCU platform.

“As the world’s largest battery and electronics market, China represents a major growth opportunity for us” said Jeff Granato, CEO of Iontra. “We’re committed to the region and look forward to exponential growth as we expand across various sectors with experienced local support for our customers. With a 25-year track record and proven success in China, Intralink Shanghai will play a key role in accelerating our market expansion in Asia and building a long-term presence in this fast-growing, highly competitive landscape.”
