About Graphenix Development Inc. (GDI)

GDI is a global leader in the research and manufacturing of advanced 100% silicon anode technology for next-generation Li-ion batteries. As the demand for electrification accelerates, next-generation battery materials are essential to support electric mobility, defense and aerospace applications, consumer electronics, and renewable energy integration.

GDI has developed and patented a 100% silicon anode that offers higher energy density and significantly faster charging. Silicon is widely recognized as the key to unlocking the future of Li-ion batteries, yet key technical challenges must be overcome before it becomes the dominant anode material in large-scale production. GDI is seeking driven, curious, and passionate individuals who want to tackle these challenges and push the boundaries of materials science and manufacturing.

What sets GDI apart is its focus on true industrial scalability. In partnership with global manufacturers, GDI produces silicon anodes using industrial solar and glass manufacturing equipment already deployed worldwide. This approach enables rapid scale-up, global manufacturability, and cost-effective deployment, providing key advantages that position GDI at the forefront of next-generation battery materials.
