Amprius Technologies announced that Nokia Drone Networks has selected the company’s SiCore® silicon‑anode lithium‑ion cells to power its next‑generation drone systems. The partnership follows a rigorous qualification program in which Amprius batteries demonstrated the endurance, power delivery, and safety performance required for high‑reliability UAV operations, positioning Amprius as a key supplier for Nokia’s drone‑in‑a‑box solution.
Amprius’ Q3 2025 financial results provide context for the significance of the deal. Revenue rose 27.48 % to $21.4 million, driven by strong demand in the aerospace and defense segments, while the company’s earnings per share of –$0.03 beat analyst expectations of –$0.05. The beat was largely due to disciplined cost control and a favorable mix of high‑margin aerospace contracts that offset modest increases in raw‑material costs.
The contract expands Amprius’s footprint in the rapidly growing electric‑aerospace and UAV markets, where the company’s high‑energy‑density, fast‑charging silicon‑nanowire anodes provide a competitive edge. The deal adds a new, high‑margin revenue stream and strengthens the company’s commercial pipeline, reinforcing its strategy of scaling through contract manufacturing and strategic alliances.
Thomas Eder, Head of Embedded Wireless Solutions at Nokia, said the partnership “offers performance gains that meaningfully enhance our drone capability, extending mission range and payload versatility while maintaining safety and reliability.” CEO Dr. Kang Sun added that Nokia’s selection “demonstrates the growing demand for our SiCore platform in high‑impact deployments and underscores Amprius’s leadership in aviation battery technology.”
Investors responded positively to the announcement, citing Amprius’s strong financial performance, the strategic importance of the Nokia partnership, and the company’s continued momentum in the high‑growth electric‑aerospace and UAV battery markets.
