With the help of the Serbian government* in securing the land and the necessary licenses to build, the site will be responsible for the manufacturing and recycling of battery cells for EVs.

With construction set for next year on a 65-hectare area of land in Šurany, the Slovak government is set to provide subsidies. The venture aims to begin battery production in Q2 2026, producing EV batteries with a combined annual output of 20 gigawatt-hours.

The significance of this investment for InoBat is that this will provide access to Gotion's research and development, its raw materials (lithium etc.) supply chain, cell production and recycling capabilities which will accelerate InoBat’s path to series and large-scale production of battery cells.

The joint venture (JV) outlines several key goals with the primary being the co-development of a 40 GWh capacity gigafactory in the CEE (Central and Eastern Europe) region.
