Dutch companies LeydenJar and Powall are not manufacturing complete batteries but specializing in critical components, such as battery anodes, aiming to secure a strategic foothold in the global battery supply chain. LeydenJar's Christian Rood likens this approach to ASML's dominance in semiconductor equipment, where being indispensable in one production step grants outsized influence over an entire industry.
