Innovation Challenge Series Launch – Britishvolt education hub

Britishvolt, on track to build the UK’s first full-scale Gigaplant, is aiming to power future employment in the North East. Their education hub, located in Ashington, will serve as an up-skilling venue for potential employees, school children and other members of the local community. Opening early in 2022 and spread across 4 floors, the learning hub will deliver accredited education, highlight how people can transfer their existing skills into employment with Britishvolt, inspire the next generation of employees in the green energy sector and promote Britishvolt as a global employer, with a local community mindset.

Britishvolt are committed to working with local businesses. Collaborating with Dynamo North East and the Innovation SuperNetwork they hope to engage regional SMEs to fill the hub’s exhibition space with innovative, interactive installations to educate and inspire people, whilst having fun. Installation themes could include how a battery works, how we can change climate culture and mindset, attitudes and ‘go green’, legacy of transport and battery power. Virtual and augmented realities, interactive displays and projections are just a few of the potential installations and we’re keen to hear about other innovative ideas, especially if they can be supplied by local businesses.

Join us at the innovation series launch event to hear from Britishvolt’s Social Value Manager, Tracy Machnicki, to learn more about her vision for the hub and Britishvolt’s social aims. Dynamo North East and the Innovation SuperNetwork will share details of upcoming challenge sessions and the opportunities for your business to get involved, including how to pitch your ideas and what support may be available if you plan to create a new product or service.
