HPQ CEO Discusses Novacium’s Eurosatory 2026 Showcase and Growing Commercial Momentum
In this interview, HPQ CEO Bernard Tourillon discussed Novacium’s upcoming participation at Eurosatory 2026, one of the world’s largest defense and security exhibitions, where the company will showcase a fully integrated European drone propulsion solution alongside LN Innov’ and Groupe Zekat.
The discussion focused on how years of R&D at Novacium are beginning to translate into commercial opportunities. The Integrated Drone Propulsion System combines advanced battery technology, propulsion motors, and intelligent electronic controls into a complete sovereign European powertrain designed for defense, industrial, and commercial drone applications.
Tourillon highlighted that the initiative is more than a technology demonstration. It represents an opportunity to engage directly with military organizations, government representatives, industrial partners, and drone manufacturers seeking secure, high-performance alternatives to fragmented global supply chains.
The interview also explored the growing commercial interest in Novacium’s silicon-enhanced battery technology. According to Tourillon, the company continues to advance discussions with potential customers across multiple sectors while positioning its battery technologies within real-world applications where higher energy density, longer operating times, and improved performance can provide meaningful advantages.
For HPQ, Eurosatory represents an important step in the commercialization process. Through its strategic investment in Novacium and exclusive North American licensing rights, the Company is evaluating how these technologies can support future opportunities in Canada, the United States, and Mexico.
The interview also touched on broader developments within HPQ’s battery and advanced materials portfolio, including ongoing commercialization efforts and growing market validation from customer engagements, demonstrations, and industry partnerships.
