I work at Northvolt, founded in 2015 in Sweden it is now the main EV battery manufacturer in Europe. A lot of the core positions (most of the battery chemistry researchers, some engineering/management/operational roles) in the earlier days were hired from South Korea, Japan and China. The company now hires a lot of Master's and PhD students from Europe itself (either after graduation or do their thesis in partnership with the company), as well as most of the engineering/operational/management. That is how you do knowledge transfer.
