&lt;br /&gt;
On 24th July 2017, the Business Secretary Greg Clark announced the launch of the first phase of investment to boost expertise in battery technology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first phase of the £246 million investment comes as the Industrial Strategy’s landmark ‘Faraday Challenge’ is launched; a 4-year investment round aimed at delivering a coordinated programme of competitions to boost research and development in battery technology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The government’s intention is to try and ensure the UK builds on its current strengths in the area, and leads the world in the design, development and manufacture of electric batteries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Faraday Challenge Advisory Board will be established to oversee the challenge and ensure its coherence and impact. The competitions of the Challenge are divided into 3 streams:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Research: A £45 million competition to create a virtual Battery Institute.&lt;br /&gt;
* Innovation: The most promising research from the Institute will be progressed closer to market.&lt;br /&gt;
* Scale-up: A competition to identify the best proposition for a new development facility to ensure real-world use and application of the technology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Faraday Challenge forms one of six key challenge areas that the government has identified through its flagship Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF) as being one of the UK’s core industrial challenges. This is where government, together with academia and industry, believe that research and innovation can help unlock future markets and industries in which the UK can become world-leading.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Business Secretary Greg Clark said:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The work that we do through the Faraday Challenge will – quite literally – power the automotive and energy revolution where, already, the UK is leading the world.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Professor Philip Nelson, Chief Executive of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), said:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Batteries will form a cornerstone of a low carbon economy, whether in cars, aircraft, consumer electronics, district or grid storage. To deliver the UK’s low carbon economy we must consolidate and grow our capabilities in novel battery technology. EPSRC’s previous research investments mean we are in a world-leading position.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Richard Parry-Jones, newly appointed Chair of the Faraday Challenge Advisory Board said:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The power of the Faraday Challenge derives from the joining-up of all 3 stages of research from the brilliant research in the university base, through innovation in commercial applications to scaling up for production. It will focus our best minds on the critical industrial challenges that are needed to establish the UK as one of the world leaders in advanced battery technologies and associated manufacturing capability.”&lt;br /&gt;
