UKBIC is a key part of the Battery Innovation Programme, a Government programme to fast track the development of cost-effective, high-performance, durable, safe, low-weight and recyclable batteries


In addition to funding from the Battery Innovation Programme, part of the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, at UK Research and Innovation, the original setup of UKBIC was part-funded through the West Midlands Combined Authority.


The establishment of UKBIC was delivered through a consortium of Coventry City Council, Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership and WMG, at the University of Warwick. UKBIC was created in 2018 following a competition led by the Advanced Propulsion Centre with support from Innovate UK.
