“We aim to make the world’s greenest battery. There is an ocean of opportunities.” – Peter Carlsson, CEO, Northvolt

Pre-Northvolt, Carlsson was a key member of the leadership team that oversaw the transition of Tesla from start-up to disruptor of the global automobile industry. “One of the challenges in Europe,” said Carlsson, “is that you need to create a core base of competence. But there is a strong sense in Europe that we need to do it and a strong commitment to the Paris Treaty. This is the way a battery company, an energy storage company, should be built. Building on more than 130 years of excellence, ABB’s ~105,000 employees are committed to driving innovations that accelerate industrial transformation.
