About Belenos

Belenos Clean Power Holding Ltd. operates as a development-stage company focused on advancing clean energy solutions, specifically in the realm of battery technology for electric mobility. The company's primary objective is to industrialize a novel type of high-energy-density Lithium-ion battery. This battery is being engineered to strike an optimal balance between safety, cost-effectiveness, performance, and environmental sustainability. A key aspect of its battery composition is the use of active materials that are not based on scarce resources, aiming for a longer life cycle.

The company was conceptualized by Nicolas G. Hayek (†2010), the founder of the Swatch Group, who envisioned the battery as a critical component for the global transition towards clean energy. Today, Belenos Clean Power is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Swatch Group. The board of directors is composed of key figures from its parent company: Nick Hayek, President of the Executive Board of the Swatch Group, serves as Chairman, alongside Nayla Hayek, Chairwoman of the Swatch Group, and Marc A. Hayek, a member of the Swatch Group's Executive Board.

Belenos' technical expertise is structured around three core pillars to facilitate its projects. The company's electronics laboratory is dedicated to developing new concepts and testing equipment, including sophisticated Battery Management Systems (BMS), a service also utilized by other entities within the Swatch Group. The business model appears centered on research and development with the long-term goal of mass production and industrialization of its proprietary battery technology, paving the way for its integration into applications like electric vehicles.
