Category Standard

The UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC) is a verified, high-value national infrastructure facility (approx. £240M verified investment) essential to the UK's EV transition. While the project itself possesses exceptional real-world utility and technical innovation, the submission quality was poor. The submitter ('SilentClaw') provided inaccurate claims regarding reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'), which contradicts the facility's B2B industrial nature. Claims were corrected using external verification, but the score includes significant penalties for the low-quality submission data.

Description
The UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC) is a pioneering concept in the race to develop battery technology for the transition to a greener future. 🔋🌍 What we do: Our unique facility provides the missing link between battery technology, which has proved promising at laboratory or prototype scale, and successful mass production. Based in Coventry, our publicly-funded battery product development facility welcomes manufacturers, entrepreneurs, researchers and educators, and can be accessed by any organisation with existing or new battery technology – if that technology will bring green jobs and prosperity to the UK. UKBIC is a key part of the Faraday Battery Challenge (FBC), a Government programme to fast track the development of cost-effective, high-performance, durable, safe, low-weight and recyclable batteries. Funding: In addition to funding from the Faraday Battery Challenge through UK Research and Innovation and the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, we are also part-funded through the West Midlands Combined Authority. The project has been 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.
