APB Corporation

APB Corporation is a Japan-based startup with a mission to "Change the World with All Polymer Battery." Founded in 2018, the company is focused on developing and manufacturing All Polymer Battery, the first large scale bipolar battery modules. This technology brings high energy density and reliability, particularly in emergency situations such as short circuits. Unlike conventional LiB, APB's All Polymer Battery utilises polymer instead of metal for current collectors, with active materials coated with dedicated polymer materials, resulting in a simpler manufacturing process. Notably, the company secured a significant ¥1.10B Venture Round investment on 21 December 2020, with backing from key investors including Mitsubishi UFJ Capital, Sanyo Chemical Industries, and Sintokogio. The company operates in the Energy and Manufacturing industries and presents an innovative opportunity in the battery technology sector.
