Safire Technology Group

Safire Technology Group is a defense and electric mobility company developing hybrid-state liquid-to-solid shear thickening battery safety technology that prevents thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries. The company operates two divisions: Safire Systems, focused on science-powered defense and energy solutions, and Safire AI, securing an electrified future. Safire has been awarded a $4.5 million contract for the Advanced Resilient Energy Systems (ARES) program and an additional U.S. Air Force Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract. The company has formed a strategic partnership with Glatfelter to develop safer, higher-performing lithium-ion batteries, and its technology has been recognized as a potential safety breakthrough for EV batteries comparable to the airbag's role in automotive safety. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in McLean, United States with facilities in Los Angeles, Knoxville, and Tysons, the company has raised approximately $13.7 million at the seed stage.
