ProLogium receives a public grant from the European Commission for its Dunkirk gigafactoryIn May, ProLogium officially announced its plans to build a solid-state battery factory in Dunkirk, France. Today, the company announced that it has received the green light from the European authorities for the project. Moreover, the European Commission administered a substantial grant of €5.2 billion to support ProLogium's scale-up project in Europe which includes the set up of a 48 GWh gigafactory in Dunkirk, France. ProLogium will receive the €1.5 billion grant according to different milestones until 2029.

The next step for ProLogium is the launch of the public consultation process under the aegis of the CNDP, which will begin in September 2023. Construction of the Gigafactory is set to begin in the second half of 2024, with production estimated to start by the end of 2026. ProLogium is actively scouting locations for its R&D center. As part of its expansion, ProLogium will initiate the recruitment process, seeking talented professionals to spearhead these projects.

ProLogium will share the technical results gained through the project and collaborate with local industry, academia, and customers based on FRAND (Fair, Reasonable and Non-discriminatory) conditions and mutual benefits. ProLogium was allowed to be involved in the IPCEI (Important Project of Common European Interest) on Batteries on December 2022 and will pursue its collaborations with direct partners in this IPCEI.
