A Fireside Chat with Karl Littau, CTO of Sakuu

Join the Stanford Energy Club and Stanford Founders for an exclusive conversation with Karl Littau, Chief Technology Officer at Sakuu, the company pioneering multi-material additive manufacturing for next-generation batteries. With a career spanning Applied Materials, Xerox PARC, Intermolecular, and Stanford's Geballe Lab, Karl brings a unique perspective on scaling deep tech at the intersection of chemistry, materials science, and manufacturing.

This fireside chat will explore how Sakuu is challenging conventional battery production by leveraging dry-process printing to reduce costs, improve performance, and unlock entirely new design possibilities for energy storage.

Key themes include:

• Bridging the gap between printing and electrochemistry
• Replacing entrenched battery manufacturing methods with scalable dry processes
• Navigating cost vs. performance in high-stakes energy storage
• Building a more sustainable, low-waste battery supply chain
• What printed batteries mean for mobility, consumer tech, and beyond

Whether you're passionate about battery innovation, advanced manufacturing, sustainability, or energy entrepreneurship, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
