Strategic Partnerships BCI regularly partners with national labs and industry bodies (e.g., Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, CRU, CRU Group) to publish market analyses and advance flow battery technology. This suggests opportunity for co-branded research programs, sponsored whitepapers, and joint events to reach leading battery stakeholders.

Industry Thought Leadership As the leading North American battery trade association, BCI engages in education and market insight initiatives, including milestones like new mascots for public engagement and educational ambassadors. This creates channels for sponsored educational campaigns, webinars, and youth outreach programs that can be monetized or leveraged for lead generation.

Events Pipeline BCI maintains an active conference and event calendar (BCI 2026, FBNA, EHS Conference) with high visibility in the battery sector. This presents sales opportunities for exhibitors, sponsors, and technology demos targeting utilities, manufacturers, and researchers attending these events.

Data and Analytics Partnership with CRU for market analyses and access to proprietary data indicates a strong appetite for data-driven services. There is potential to offer premium market reports, custom analytics, and subscription access to industry benchmarks for members and affiliates.

Membership Growth BCI has a focused membership role (director of membership and operations hired in 2025) and a mid-size staff, suggesting opportunities to provide member-focused solutions such as CRM, event management, membership onboarding tools, and digital engagement platforms to enhance retention and acquisition.
