Developing the next generation of batteries is a key requirement to deliver clean growth, one of the four grand challenges of the Industrial Strategy. The Government is making significant investments via the Faraday Battery Challenge, funding research and innovation projects and new facilities to scale-up and advance the production, use and recycling of batteries. This meeting discussed the issues surrounding new battery technologies, debated how the UK is doing in terms to developing its capability, and explored the balance between investing in batteries for electric vehicles and for power generation.

The event was chaired by Lord Willetts.
