The UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UK BIC) is a research centre in the United Kingdom, to develop new electrical batteries, for the British automotive industry. UKBIC provides over £60 million worth of specialized manufacturing equipment, supporting manufacturers, entrepreneurs, researchers, and educators in battery technology development. It has accelerated low carbon R&D, contributing to the UK's Net Zero goal by 2050. [2]
