History

 * In October 2006, Vincent Yang established ProLogium Technology and started the research and development of solid-state batteries. At the time, ProLogium focused on the development of thin flexible solid-state batteries for consumer electronics and wearable applications.
 * February 2012, ProLogium made its debut in the Battery Japan show and announced their FLCB (FPC Lithium Ceramic) battery, a product which integrated solid-state battery and FPC (flexible printed circuit) substrate. With a thickness of only 0.38mm, the FLCB can be bent or cut without exploding and targeted various markets including wearable applications, consumer electronics, and IOT applications.
 * In 2013, ProLogium’s battery was applied to the Power Flip case for the HTC One Max smartphone, which provides 1,150 mAh of additional capacity and extends the battery life by 1.5 times.
 * In 2017, ProLogium’s automated roll-to-roll solid-state battery pilot line in Taoyuan, Taiwan was activated. Since then, over one million solid-state battery cells have been shipped to various application markets.
 * In April 2019, ProLogium won the Gold Award of the Edison Awards for its battery pack assembly technology "BiPolar+ 3D Structure Solid-State EV Battery Pack", a unique architecture which allows for direct connection of electrodes in series and parallel by stacking. This unique bipolar design can simplify the connection materials and space for the EV battery system and improve both the volumetric and gravimetric energy density. In the same year, ProLogium signed cooperation agreements (MOUs) with several Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers, including NIO, AiWAYS, and Enovate Motors, to accelerate the commercialization of solid-state battery electric vehicles.
 * In March 2021, ProLogium signed an MOU with Vietnamese car OEM Vinfast. According to the MOU, ProLogium and Vinfast will establish a joint venture to produce solid-state batteries for electric cars in Vietnam. This joint venture has access to patents and is authorized to use ProLogium's MAB (Multi-Axis Bipolar+) solid-state battery packaging technology to make EV battery packs.
 * In April 2021, ProLogium won the Bronze Award of the Edison Awards for its proprietary ASM (Active Safety Mechanism) technology. The ASM is a mechanism that ensures safety and actively stops thermal runaway by passivating electrodes.
 * In October 2021, ProLogium completed a new financing round of $326 million, with Primavera Capital Group as a new investor. The funding raised will be used to expand production capacity in Europe, the United States, and Asia.
 * In January 2022, ProLogium signed a technical cooperation agreement with Mercedes-Benz, a subsidiary of the Daimler Group. Mercedes-Benz invested nearly 100 million Euros and will take a seat on ProLogium’s board of directors. The money invested by Mercedes-Benz will be used for battery development and production preparations in Europe.
 * In February 2022, American business news website Insider reported on 15 notable unicorn companies in the global electric vehicle industry selected by Pitchbook, a financial research company, and ProLogium was included on the list.
