Valence CEO Named Fast 50 Innovator
Stephan Godevais, chairman and CEO of Valence
Technology, was named to Fast Company magazine’s
fourth annual Fast 50 Innovators, announced in
the March issue of one of the leading magazines
for business managers. Honoring individuals whose
achievements have significantly advanced their
companies or industries, the winners were selected
from more than 1,650 online entries from 30 countries
and throughout the USA.
The magazine notes that Valence Technology has
modified lithium-ion technology – typically
found in electronics such as laptops – for
use in transportation. “While everyone waits
for fuel cells to provide long-lasting batteries,
Valence is moving in that direction today,”
according to Fast Company.
Valence has worked with Segway LLC to develop
batteries for its new 2005 human transporters,
Segway HT i180, Segway XT, and Segway GT. The
new batteries are being introduced on each of
these models.
