ODON, Ind. – The first Battery Innovation Center Commercialization Forum was hosted by Purdue@Westgate on May 7 at WestGate Academy.
The BIC Forum brings together economic development officials, startup founders, engineers and tech leaders in the battery industry from across the nation to collaborate toward accelerating commercialization of leading-edge battery technology.
The state, which will be joined by Dave Roberts, CEO of the Applied Research Institute, and Ben Wrightsman, CEO of the Battery Innovation Center, will showcase Indiana’s leadership in energy storage, electrification, electric vehicles and the industry’s supply chain, targeting new business prospects and investment opportunities.
“There simply isn’t enough talent in the U.S. right now,” Tang said. “It’s our job to push the technology forward and teach the industry about current problems, processes, and standards. Education is key.”
