BATTERY TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS BY STAGE

Battery technology investments (excluding energy storage) shrank by 74% YoY, as battery-focused investments within the energy and transportation space were deprioritized in favor of sectors like nuclear and aviation. Macroeconomic and policy uncertainties further dampened investment sentiment, including delayed U.S. IRA fund rollouts, global political uncertainty, and a higher cost of capital.

Unlike the precedent boom years, 2024's funding environment prioritized capital efficiency and milestone-driven financing, with many late-stage rounds blending venture, grants, and debt.
