Watt It Takes: Bringing Printable Batteries From Lab to Market

<p>This week on <em>Watt It Takes</em>: Powerhouse CEO Emily Kirsch sits down with Dr. Christine Ho, the co-founder and CEO of <a href="https://www.imprintenergy.com/" target="_blank">Imprint Energy</a>.</p><p>Imprint Energy is the company created to commercialize Christine’s invention: a tiny, zinc-based solid-state battery that can be screen printed. It’s being integrated into sensors and other tiny devices across the internet-of-things.</p><p>Christine’s father was an entrepreneur. She saw the highs and lows of that life. She followed his path -- and has faced her own similar tumult. Today, Imprint is licensing its technology to multiple manufacturers, and it’s printed hundreds of thousands of batteries.</p><p>This conversation was recorded at the Powerhouse headquarters in Oakland, California.&nbsp;</p><p>To learn more about future speakers and attending a live event, go to <a href="https://powerhouse.fund/" target="_blank">Powerhouse.fund</a> and click on the events tab.
