Cell Impact, a Swedish manufacturer based in Karlskoga, is making strides in the Japanese market through its innovative flow plate technology for hydrogen fuel cells. Teaming up with a major Japanese automotive parts manufacturer, the company aims to fuel the hydrogen cars of the future. Their technology, which forms flow plates 100 times faster than conventional methods, is expected to significantly reduce the costs of hydrogen-powered vehicles as around 400 flow plates are needed per vehicle. The partnership in Japan is supported by the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), providing stability for importation of machinery and materials from Sweden. Additionally, services and expertise are exchanged between Cell Impact Japan and Cell Impact HQ in Sweden, facilitated by the EPA's provisions on cross-border services. The Managing Director of Cell Impact Japan highlights the importance of the EPA in ensuring the success and continuity of ventures like theirs. Furthermore, the EU-Japan Data Flow Agreement plays a crucial role for Cell Impact Japan, facilitating data exchange between headquarters in Sweden and the Japanese branch. The company, founded in 1999 with 43 employees, is at the forefront of innovation in the automotive industry, focusing on developing sustainable solutions for hydrogen fuel cells.
