Somerset is set to play a central role in the future of green energy. Join us for a breakfast briefing with Nick Cooper from Agratas, where we will hear the latest updates on the multi-billion-pound battery cell manufacturing facility being developed at the Gravity Smart Campus near Bridgwater.

This ground-breaking project is expected to deliver nearly half of the UK’s battery capacity for the automotive industry by the early 2030s, creating up to 4,000 skilled jobs in the Somerset area and thousands more across the national supply chain.

This session will cover the progress of the build, what to expect as we move closer to production in 2027, and how Agratas is working with local partners to deliver skills, education and long-term economic opportunity.
