Committees
Providing a trusted, structured forum for global members to collaborate, align, and act – transforming expertise into progress for the battery industry.
Why Join a Committee?
Bringing together professionals from across the battery industry to collaborate on shared, pre-competitive challenges, Committees align perspectives, surface insights, and develop practical guidance that supports informed decision-making. Each committee operates under a formal charter, clear anti-trust guardrails, and a consistent operating model to ensure credibility, neutrality, and impact.
Committees are open to all Platinum, Gold and Silver Member Companies.
Workforce Readiness & Development Committee
This committee brings together industry and academia to support workforce readiness across the value chain. Members collaborate to identify skills gaps and align workforce readiness frameworks, training models and curricula, and best practices to support a capable and sustainable workforce.
AI & Data Center Infrastructure Committee
This committee focuses on data center infrastructure to examine the application of battery systems, applied AI, and digital infrastructure in high-capacity stationary energy storage. Members study technical, market, and regulatory considerations and share insights on integrating batteries into data center environments.
Materials Qualification & Adoption Committee
This committee focuses on improving how new battery materials are qualified and integrated by aligning specifications and data expectations across stakeholders. Members collaborate to reduce misalignment between innovators, suppliers, and integrators and support smoother material adoption processes.
Featured Insights
Where Batteries Can Win in Data Center Applications
Today’s AI data centers can have their GPUs bought and financing blocked from development, waiting for power. Previously, compute has been the bottleneck of data center buildout; now, power constrains it too, above all by how long that power takes to arrive. Batteries are quickly emerging as a solution to
How Many Workers Are Needed for Battery Manufacturing?
The rapid expansion of battery manufacturing has made one question increasingly important: How many workers are needed to produce one gigawatt-hour (GWh) of batteries? The answer shapes workforce development, manufacturing investment, industrial policy, and regional planning, yet published estimates vary widely because they often measure different parts of the battery
Defining Materials Qualification Pathways in the Battery Industry
New battery materials increasingly live in the gap between promising lab data and product-planning confidence. Material developers can often demonstrate a compelling benefit such as higher capacity, higher power, longer cycle life, lower cost, improved safety, or better sustainability before they can show that the same benefit will survive cell
