Westra Materials awarded €6.5 million from the EIC Accelerator

18 February, 2026

Today, we are incredibly proud to share that Westra Materials has been awarded €6.5 million in blended funding from the European Innovation Council EIC Accelerator under Horizon Europe.

The funding includes €2.5 million in grant financing and €4 million in equity investment to accelerate the industrial scale-up of our breakthrough conductive material.

Through our project, we are replacing PFAS-based PVDF binders with the first scalable conductive binder that combines binding and conductivity in a single material. 

With EIC support, we will scale production, advance industrial qualification with leading battery manufacturers, and strengthen Europe’s value chain.
Being selected by one of the most competitive deep tech funding programmes is a major milestone for our team and a strong validation of our technology.

The future of conductive materials begins here.
