Welcome to Battery Innovation Programme CR&D Round 3 networking platform!
Please use this platform to network ahead of the BIP CR&D Round 3 due to open in September 2026.
Round 3 Concept development:
This competition funds collaborative R&D to strengthen the UK battery supply chain by scaling domestic manufacturing of cells, modules, packs, and battery management systems (BMS) to reduce overseas dependencies. Projects must focus on advancing production, digital tools, and scalable technologies that boost efficiency and build resilient UK manufacturing capabilities. Proposals must align with at least one core technology groups: Cell, Module, or Pack Manufacturing & BMS while demonstrating a clear pathway to market deployment.
Round 3 Feasibility studies:
This competition funds projects to accelerate the commercialisation of state-of-the-art battery technologies, driving UK competitiveness and cross-sector electrification. Projects must demonstrate clear market demand while delivering measurable improvements in cost, performance, safety, reliability, or environmental impact. Proposals must address at least one key lifecycle area from raw materials, processing, and cell/pack integration to recycling and circularity across target sectors such as automotive, aerospace, energy storage, or dual-use defence.
