Funding
Battery Innovation Programme: Battery skills initiatives
Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), will invest up to £3.7 million in this competition. This is subject to a sufficient number of high quality applications being received. This funding is provided through the Battery Innovation Programme, funded by the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) and delivered by Innovate UK.
The aim of this competition is so UK registered organisations can apply for funding to establish or scale regional skills initiatives for battery manufacturing and its supply chain.
This competition is split into two themes:
Establish: your project will establish a new regional training initiative with a focus on level 2 to 3 national qualifications to ensure learners can train and work across the UK.
Scale: your project may either scale existing battery skills provision, or create new scalable provision to deliver commercially sustainable, nationally accredited programmes (levels 2 to 5) that strengthen the UK’s battery skills pipeline. The programmes should accelerate existing skills initiatives and address known skills gaps by collaborating with current provision in innovative, commercially viable ways.
Project size
Your project’s total eligible grant funding request must be between £440,000 and £1.2 million.
