Replay of UBS Podcast Featuring Factorial CEO Siyu Huang on Solid‑State Technology and Manufacturing Scalability Now Available

BOSTON, May 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Factorial Inc. (“Factorial”), a global leader in next-generation solid-state battery technology, today announced that a replay of CEO Dr. Siyu Huang’s recent participation in the UBS Energy Transition podcast is now available.

Dr. Huang joined UBS as part of the firm’s 2026 Spring Clean Technology C‑Suite Virtual Forum, a series featuring executives from leading private and public companies across the clean‑technology landscape. The discussion highlighted Factorial’s progress in advancing solid‑state battery technology, including the company’s delivery of the world’s first lithium‑metal solid‑state B‑sample cells to a global OEM which subsequently completed a 1,205-kilometer (749-mile) single-charge drive in a vehicle powered by Factorial's cells.

Dr. Huang also discussed Factorial’s growing presence in high‑specification markets such as drones, robotics, and hyperscale data centers—sectors where high energy density, thermal stability, and manufacturability are critical. She outlined the company’s approach to scaling production through a combination of in‑house high‑spec manufacturing and joint industrialization partnerships with global OEMs, supported by a supply chain ecosystem that includes leading materials and engineering partners.
