  • Ni-CAT Battery Materials and AI Company — Ni-CAT is working on AI-assisted research and development of next-generation battery materials, which is the key to the transition to battery electric vehicles. Ni-CAT believes that the speed of EV transition is still not enough to prevent global warming and replace carbon-based fuels in near future, and it is not related to money or resources. Webelieve that speeding up EV transition is possible with our novel methodology, which combines three approximation to the solution: our unique AI-assisted materials research, digitalized reactor farm and our novel surfactant-assisted synthesis.As the electrification of the automotive industry expands, we deliver state-of-the-art technologies to meet the industry’s high-quality standards. To help our customers to step up the EV transition, we will be working on our research and development of lower-cost/higher performance, ultra-high energy density battery materials to serve innovative solutions for a brighter future. With our expertise in the application of machine learning in material science, we are developing low cobalt/high nickel lithium cathode materials. Cathode determines the type of a lithium battery and is the limiting factor for nickel-based batteries. Further improvement in battery performance is possible through AI-assisted custom high nickel cathode materials with increased charge rate, charge to discharge ratio, tap density, or any other specifications. By our unique computer-controlled digital reactor farm, we numerize synthesis parameters and output specifications for the machine learning algorithm we have been developing.

Ali Demir
Angel · Kadikoy, Istanbul, Turkey · 1 investments in Turkey Machine Learning startups

The district of Kadikoy's coast located in Istanbul was the year 1994 cradle where Ali Demir’s birth happened. The seeds of his ambitions in marketing were sowed in high school, when he realized that companies could achieve an unmatched success by utilizing creative marketing.He attended school in 2001 when he was seven, having a favorite ofEnglish and economics course. Upon graduation from high school, he interrupted his education to move to study Marketing and Brand Management at 'Istanbul Kültür University' (IKU), enrolling in the university in 2013.University life was not merely about studying: he dedicated himself fully, serving as organizer of marketing projects and becoming the guy everyone feared losing to during skills challenges. Beginning his first project at 'Istanbul Kültür University', Ali wasn't just a student; he was a centerpiece of each marketing project and the one who assisted everybody in skills challenges. His journey did not finish at this point, however. After completing his Bachelor's degree at IKU in 2017, he went even further to up his knowledge with 'Istanbul Bilgi University' (IBU), enrolling in the same year for a Master of Science degree in the field of Digital Marketing and Social Media. There, he delved into the intricacies of Digital Marketing, Analytics, and Strategic Planning. This plunging into the depths of marketing space provided Ali with understanding and knowledge, which he needed for achieving success in the complex world of corporate marketing!Upon graduation, apart from eyeing to land into a marketing position, Ali tasted loads of on-job projects that by the end of the race had in his stash a cool strategic market mixture. Smart hands and adaptability combined with his rapid corporate promotion made him develop into a true veteran of the business world.One day Ali found the work at agencies that were not so well-known to blow one’s mind. Ali decided to not necessarily go for the titans like TY, Uber, or Marvel but instead focus on the less known and small players that operate in a specific niche. His rise to fame comes from Ali achieving a marketing wizardry and high level professionalism, which consequently got the attention of the people with more important positions. He started leading the publicity push as the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO).As the principal brains behind the game's marketing and product promotion strategies, in this CMO gig for zk-Call — Ali Demir takes the responsibility for creating development and implementation of the strategies for marketing and product promotion. The mark where his innovative thoughts have brought the company to a new marketing platform is now known as a standout in that market! Now, Ali is no longer settled — leading the marketing campaign with the same hunger and spark as when he was a rookie. He keeps on being the role model in the marketing community. A story of Ali Demir’s success from one of the districts of Kadikoy, Istanbul to rise as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) at zk-Call is an exceptional travel.Everything he has done, he was driven to do by a desire to learn about marketing and the ability to transform creative thinking into commonsense strategy.On entering the job front, Ali ceased to be a role player but turned out to be an agent of change. Through working on different projects, he came up with an indigenous concoction of marketing tactics which provided him with a competitive edge over others in marketing. His ability to change and innovate at a blinding speed saw him rise through the puts of hierarchy to become a skillful business professional!The decision Ali took to join lower-known, small marketing agencies before the CMO job in zk-Call helped him to demonstrate his marketing ability and business reliability. He has been the mastermind behind the marketing and product promotions campaigns that have propelled zk-Call into a reputable and competitive brand in the industry at large.Ali's hunger and thirst for marketing are as strong as they were then. His success story demonstrates that if one has creativity, tenacity, and a strategic mindset, it is possible to achieve any heights despite the challenges. Ali Demir's narrative is a clear evidence that to achieve one's dreams he must have a passion and a continued strive for excellence in one's area of work!
