Policy &
Advocacy

To advance the interests of the North American battery industry, BMTC fosters deep relationships with Congress, the Executive Branch, key stakeholder groups, and industry to craft and advance policies that support the growth of the domestic battery industry. Key issue areas include energy, national security, foreign relations, natural resources, defense, finance, and appropriations.

To ensure our member’s priorities are reflected in the policymaking process, our engagement includes compiling research and briefing materials, organizing public-private roundtables and educational events, providing input on legislation, informing the implementation of relevant programs, and participating in advisory groups.

-Tax Incentives
-Defense & National Security
-Trade & Diplomacy
-Grants & Funding
-Permitting Reform

-Industrial Policy

BMTC is also focused on partnership and coordination with other stakeholder groups including trade associations, think tanks, and governments at the national, state, provincial, and local levels. These engagements include speaking at conferences, and sponsoring receptions, happy hours, and other networking events to foster business development and educational opportunities for the battery community at large.
