Fetherstill

Networking and a strong positive relationship of trust and respect, this is how I would sum up our association with St Clair College, Research, and Innovation. Fetherstill Inc was incorporated in Windsor, Ontario, for the sole purpose of developing technology that improved battery functioning in extreme temperature conditions. I made a fully committed move to Windsor to pursue this vision, and I knew from the very beginning that this could not be achieved without the support of the local organizations and a fantastic team.

Our dedicated space for product development and testing at St Clair College. I began my quest to get support much before my move to Windsor and much before the company was even incorporated. With constant research, I contacted Mackenzie Habash, now Senior Program Manager at Invest Windsor Essex, who was the first one to convince me to make the move and connected me to WEtech Alliance. Susana Martins, Business Advisor from WEtech Alliance, recognized Fetherstill's potential and advised me to proceed with incorporating in Windsor and guided me to make one of the most strategic decisions of my life.

Our team members are working on some preliminary cell testing. With the right team—comprising Mario, Design Engineer, Rishab, Electro-Mechanical Engineer, Edwin, Electrical Engineer, Aidan, Owen, and Rodrigo, we have achieved strong progress since the beginning of 2023, completing our proof of technology using Battery Module 1.0. We are now developing Battery Module 2.0, named 'Powerboost', which will output 1.75KWh of power and will be installed in our test vehicle.

Lithium Ion 2170 cells that go into our module. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity. As the founder, my goal is to leverage this partnership to create value for our community, the city, and our country. Regardless of Fetherstill's success, the relationship between the two organizations will go down in history as one of the most influential the city has ever seen.
