Austrian cleantech startup SALZSTROM has raised over $1 million in pre-seed funding to develop its sodium-ion battery technology, aiming to offer a European-made alternative to lithium-ion batteries.

The funding round was led by Erste Bank and other partners. SALZSTROM will also bring all its research work under a new unit called FlexCo.
