Battery Competence Cluster - NL
Opportunities for the Netherlands
The mission of the Battery Competence Cluster – NL is to organize public-private collaborations of battery technology in the Netherlands that will develop the required battery competences and knowledge.
The ambition is to become the leading program on application-driven battery technology development. Resulting in:
- Unique position within the international battery value chain
- Less dependence on international supply chain (critical raw materials)
- Preservation and growth of employment and industry
Innovation Programme for a Strong Dutch Battery Ecosystem
To seize and, above all, accelerate the opportunities of the energy transition and battery technology, the Battery Competence Cluster – NL, together with industry, knowledge institutions and trade associations, is committed to developing a robust battery ecosystem.
The Battery Competence Cluster – NL is the programme where companies, knowledge institutions and organisations join forces to build knowledge and competences in the field of battery technology. The Dutch battery, transport and maritime industries come together in this initiative.
This is reinforced by the signing of a ‘letter of support’ for consortia applying for funding under the Circular Batteries Subsidy Scheme.
