The Winner, EnergyLink3, Has Been Awarded $25,000 After the Four Month Program

EASTON, MARYLAND, UNITED STATES, December 17, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- F3 Tech Accelerator, a leading commercialization program for early-stage companies, streamed its virtual Program Award Event on December 16th and announced EnergyLink3, one of five companies presenting, as the winner of its 4-month long program. EnergyLink3, a Maryland-based company, was chosen based on its accomplishments during the program, notedly having become the first early-stage company to ever raise external investment funding during the program. In addition, EnergyLink3 will receive $25,000 from F3 Tech to use towards commercialization efforts.

Energylink3 focused their time in the program on expediting prototype development of their exclusive C4V™ licensed lithium-ion cells for their military research agreements and raising the final funding needed to prepare the prototypes for delivery to the Army. “F3 Tech provided investment and legal resources that helped lead to their acquisition of private funding in November,” stated Sam Zappas, F3 Tech Advisor. The prototyping was expedited by 6 months due to the program’s on-site 3-D printing capabilities, which will help EnergyLink3 to present their Tesla-leading ultra-safe, less toxic battery technology to the military and for rural civilian applications.

“Early in the program, we identified a massive opportunity for Maryland and began working on a strategic plan to promote the manufacturing of future DoD-specific products in what could be the most secure lithium-ion battery manufacturing plant yet to be developed,” said Chris Hlubb, F3 Tech Program Director. EnergyLink3’s current batteries will be manufactured in New York at a former IBM campus by C4V and iM3, which will become America’s 2nd Gigafactory.

In 2017, the F3 Tech Accelerator Program launched to advance innovation and new technologies within agriculture, aquaculture, energy, supply chain and environmental technology sectors. This year, the F3 Tech Accelerator Program received more applicants than ever before and selected the five best-qualified portfolio companies for its fall program. The selected finalists received funding and executive support to expedite commercial sales and prepare each company for potential investment, acquisition, or commercial launch.
