Imperial College London and Williams Advanced Engineering (WAE) are working on a project to bridge the gap between thermofluid science and battery electrochemistry; developing a first-of-a-kind multiphase multiphysics model of battery failure via thermal runaway (a self-sustaining cascade of exothermic reactions that produce large volumes of gas).

The Foresight Williams Technology Fund, a joint venture between Foresight and Williams Advanced Engineering (“WAE”) is pleased to announce a £2.5m growth capital investment into Kognitiv Spark (“KS”) who are commercialising software that provides 3D data to support field service workers in remote locations.

Foresight Williams are pleased to announce an investment into Zero Point Motion Limited; an early-stage semiconductor company which is developing a chip-scale inertial measurement unit (“IMU”) for ultra-precise motion-tracking and indoor navigation.

WAE will remain an independent company, accelerating growth whilst its leading battery technical division will work with Fortescue Future Industries (FFI), Fortescue’s green energy, technology and development company
