Battery Futures Series - Part 2: From innovation to industrial impact: solving the UK's scale-up challenge
Battery Futures is a thought leadership series from the Cross-Sector Battery Systems Innovation Network. Drawing on discussions from the Cross-Sector Battery Showcase and wider industry engagement, each article explores one of the key themes shaping the future of the UK’s battery ecosystem.
In the first article of this series, we explored how the UK’s battery opportunity extends far beyond automotive. We highlighted the growing importance of batteries across defence, aerospace, rail, maritime, energy systems, and the built environment.
