Sicona Battery Technologies

🎥 Sicona on WIN News Illawarra We were proud to be featured on WIN News this week, showcasing how our advanced coolant technology is helping solve one of the biggest challenges facing data centres: keeping them cool while reducing energy use. Data centres are some of the most energy-intensive facilities on the planet. By applying Sicona’s innovation in materials science, we can enable smarter, more sustainable solutions that support the clean energy transition. A big thank you to WIN News Illawarra and reporter Lauren Ivory for shining a spotlight on our work and the impact it can have. #CleanTech #Innovation #Sustainability #DataCentres #Illawarra

ICYMI: Recently, Sicona was inducted into the Hall of Fame at the IMB Bank Illawarra Business Awards, after securing our third consecutive win in Excellence in International Business. We were also named Business of the Year, a recognition of the incredible journey from Wollongong research to scaling a technology with global impact. This milestone is as much about our team as it is about the community and partners who’ve backed us from day one. Thank you to everyone who has supported our vision. Now, we turn our focus to the next stage: representing the Illawarra at the NSW Business Awards in Sydney on 28 October. Big ideas can start in Wollongong — and together, we’re showing they can go global. 🌏⚡️ #Illawarra #BusinessAwards #HallOfFame #CleanTech #GlobalGrowth

🚀 “Everybody in this room that backs start-ups, backs companies out of the Illawarra, scaling globally — this is recognition of what companies like us can do.” Our CTO & Co-founder, Dr Andrew Minett, captured the moment perfectly at the IMB Bank Illawarra Business Awards. Winning Business of the Year and Excellence in International Business isn’t just recognition for Sicona — it’s a reminder that innovation born in the Illawarra can compete on the world stage. 🎥 Watch the highlights from Andrew’s speech ⬇️ Business Illawarra #Innovation #CleanTech #InternationalBusiness #Illawarra #Sicona

We’re proud to see Sicona featured in Region Illawarra’s coverage of the 2025 IMB Bank Illawarra Business Awards. The story captured exactly what drives us: a local sustainability success story with global ambitions, born out of the University of Wollongong and scaling internationally from our base right here in Wollongong. To be named Business of the Year and to enter the Hall of Fame for Excellence in International Business is a special milestone — one that belongs to our engineers, scientists, operators, and the whole Sicona team. Thank you to Region Illawarra for telling our story so well, and congratulations to all the incredible local businesses recognised on the night. 📖 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gwg-yxd6 #IllawarraBusinessAwards #CleanTech #TeamSicona #Illawarra

🌏 While our team was celebrating at the Illawarra Business Awards last night — where Sicona proudly won both Excellence in International Business and the coveted Business of the Year — our CEO & Cofounder Christiaan Jordaan was in India at Exide Energy Solutions Ltd’s new gigafactory outside Bangalore. It’s a fitting reminder of what these awards recognise: that world-class innovation can start in Wollongong and go global. Christiaan’s visit underlines Sicona’s growing international footprint, building partnerships and opportunities that will help us scale our technology to meet the world’s demand for better, cheaper, faster batteries. From the Illawarra to India — and beyond — this is only the beginning. #IllawarraBusinessAwards #Innovation #InternationalBusiness #Batteries #GlobalImpact
