Redefining the next generation battery innovation network with an end to end coalition of industry leading partners.

A Push Towards Innovative Partnerships

Technical Partners

Our technical partnerships connect startups, academic researchers, and industry leaders to further the development of next-generation battery technologies.

Through shared access to industry-grade, pilot manufacturing infrastructure at ECF and the support for projects like a small-scale beyond–Li-ion line led by UC Riverside, we help bridge the gap between lab-scale breakthroughs and commercial manufacturing.

Battery Innovation Network & Workforce Partners

Our workforce partnerships span community colleges, labor unions, universities, and industry to build inclusive training pathways for students and professionals.

Together, we’re preparing talent for skilled trades and advanced careers in battery manufacturing through hands-on training, curriculum development, and direct hiring pipelines.

Commercialization Partners

Our commercialization partners bring the scale, credibility, and market expertise needed to move breakthrough technologies from prototype to widespread adoption.

By pairing ECF’s scientific innovation with their global reach and product excellence, we’re able to validate technologies in demanding real-world settings, accelerate integration into next-generation mobility platforms, and open early adoption pathways across industries.

These collaborations ensure that new technologies don’t just remain in the lab—they become trusted, high-performance solutions that create ground breaking new products.
