Ideal Power: Progressing Toward Commercialization

Ideal Power signed various market leaders from different industries to its test and evaluation program. The company completed the deliverables for the Phase 1 Small Business Innovation Research grant issued by the Department of Energy (DoE) for its B-TRAN™-enabled solid-state circuit breaker. Ideal Power’s current cash position of $23.2 million is expected to support its operations for at least the next two years and negates any immediate dilution requirement. The company appointed two new independent directors, Drue Freeman and Greg Knight, adding significant semiconductor experience and relationships in key target markets. By hiring the two new independent directors, the Company is now back in compliance with NASDAQ.
