About Ionworks

Ionworks is a battery software company, with a mission to accelerate battery R&D using virtual prototyping. Battery companies and OEMs are currently spending hundreds of millions of dollars to design new batteries, with 5-10 year timelines to market. Our software significantly reduces these times and costs by empowering scientists and engineers to replace large numbers of physical experiments with accurate simulations that are a fraction of the cost and far quicker to run. We are building the battery R&D platform for the modern age.

At the center of our technology is PyBaMM, the leading open-source software for battery modeling, built by the Ionworks team. PyBaMM is the go-to tool for battery R&D due to its cutting-edge physics and ease of integration with cloud infrastructure, machine learning, hardware-in-the-loop and endless configurability. At Ionworks, our goal is to propel PyBaMM beyond its current success, enhancing its scalability, computational efficiency, and productivity across entire R&D teams, making it more than just a tool for the experts.
