VOCATION

Contributing to the decarbonisation of energy use

by accelerating the production of low-carbon batteries in Europe

Faced with the scale of climate challenges and issues of sovereignty, Verkor was founded with the aim to make Europe a key player in the production of low-carbon batteries.

In 2020, against the backdrop of extraordinary circumstances – a global health crisis coupled with a growing realisation that profound change was needed – six change-makers from different backgrounds came together to found Verkor.

Our mission? To produce low-carbon batteries for automotive applications, other mobility and stationary storage.

Three key pillars

01 Innovation driving efficient, smart and sustainable production

The integration of digital solutions, underpinned by a ‘Digital by Design’ approach, enhances the efficiency of our production processes.

02 Talent as a driver of growth

our team brings together international leaders and experts from the sector

03 A robust ecosystem of leading partners

We work alongside major industrial, technological and institutional players to secure and accelerate the development of a strategic sector.

Two sites, one strategy

Combining innovation with large-scale industrialisation

The Verkor Innovation Centre – Grenoble

Verkor’s first site and head office, the VIC has been operational since 2023.

Innovation

This is its primary function: to develop products – cells and modules – that will form the core of tomorrow’s low-carbon batteries, and to conduct full-scale testing of innovative digital manufacturing processes.

Production

A smaller-scale replica of the Gigafactory, the VIC has a production capacity of 100 to 150 MWh for manufacturing Verkor battery cells.

Training

To train a new generation of experts in the battery sector by providing them with the resources and facilities of an advanced research laboratory.

The Verkor Gigafactory - Dunkerque

The first Verkor Gigafactory, which was inaugurated in December 2025, is currently in the industrial ramp-up phase, with production scheduled to start in autumn 2026.

Operational excellence scaled up to an industrial level: a highly efficient Gigafactory, made possible by advanced data architecture and high-level industrial digitalisation.

1 training centre

Integrated to open in 2026

What next?

The Gigafactory marks the beginning of Verkor’s story. After 2030, Verkor’s annual production capacity could reach 50 GWh. New facilities will underpin a long-term development strategy, with the support of industrial and institutional partners in France and across Europe.

Verkor Batteries

Verkor designs and manufactures low-carbon lithium-ion battery cells and modules to meet the specific requirements of our partners.

A diverse range of cells, designed to meet a variety of mobility needs, from passenger and commercial vehicles to off-road vehicles and stationary storage systems.
