The Industrial Strategy sets out how we are building a Britain
fit for the future. But unlike the industrial revolutions of the
past, our new industrial strategy needs to be powered by clean
energy. As such, there is growing demand for batteries for
electrification.
New technologies introduce new challenges - especially
when it comes to health and safety.
This inaugural conference took place at the IET, Savoy
Place, London on the 14th November 2019, uniting keynote speakers
from industry, government, research and standards-making to share
knowledge, insight and current thinking so that together we can
overcome the health and safety challenges of innovating and
regulating this growing area of new technology.
The Industrial Strategy sets out how we are building a Britain
fit for the future - how we will help businesses create better,
higher-paying jobs in every part of the United Kingdom with
investment in the skills, industries and infrastructure of the
future. It ensures that our country and its citizens can embrace
and benefit from the opportunity of technological change.
But unlike the industrial revolutions of the past, our new
industrial strategy needs to be powered by clean energy.
As such, there is growing demand for batteries for
electrification.
The government is investing millions of pounds in research and
innovation projects and new facilities to scale-up and advance the
production, use and recycling of batteries.
While government investment is initially focusing on the
automotive sector to meet the growing global demand for electric
vehicles, investment in this area will also help advance battery
development for other applications for an electrified economy.
But new technologies introduce new challenges - especially when
it comes to health and safety.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is responding to these
challenges by hosting Innovation in Battery Technology - Safely
Enabling the Industrial Strategy.
Partnership and collaboration will be key in developing an
evidence base that can underpin future health and safety systems
for battery technology and this inaugural conference will unite
keynote speakers from industry, government, research and
standards-making to share knowledge, insight and current thinking
so that together we can overcome the health and safety challenges
of innovating and regulating this growing area of new
technology.
