Northvolt is a company founded in 2015 and initially called SGF Energy. It was founded by Peter Carlsson, who has a background in Ericsson and Tesla, and the idea is to meet the demand for batteries, primarily in the automotive industry.
The goal is to control the entire chain from mining to finished product. Northvolt has received significant tax support to create job opportunities in green transformation and the construction of, among other things, the factory in Skellefteå.
It all started in a garage with a couple of jet skis. In the future, unmanned ocean drones from defence company Nautrik could patrol the Strait of Hormuz or protect Sweden's coastline.
TechnologyStartup company Refinyx, founded by former Northvolt executives, is buying parts of the bankruptcy estate, Bloomberg reports.

BusinessWhen the financiers of the now-bankrupt Northvolt began to drop out, management turned to the government as a last hope. But CEO Peter Carlsson got the nod. That can make me quite bitter, he tells Dagens Nyheter in connection with his new book.
BusinessThe goal is to produce fossil-free steel. But the road to getting there has been anything but straightforward. The Stegra industrial project, with its facility in Boden, has long been under financial pressure.
