NBRI is a platform that brings together scientists, academicians, industry partners, the government, and all stakeholders that focus on battery technology and renewable energy. Our priority is to encourage and support the battery manufacturing industry using local resources and provide competent resources in the field of Battery technology for EV and RE. It will enable Indonesia to be independent in energy. For attaining our goals, we open to collaborate with stakeholders for accommodating various views and suggestions from our partners to always be the best.
The NBRI concept founded by Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Evvy Kartini
NBRI was legally established on 07th December 2020 as The Center of Excellence Innovation of Battery and Renewable Energy Foundation, with Prof. Dr. Evvy Kartini and Prof. Dr. Alan J. Drew, becoming the Founder and Co-founder of NBRI, respectively. The NBRI was supported by the UK Government’s Global Challenge Research Fund (GCRF), and Queen Mary University London (QMUL), United Kingdom.
Since January 2020, NBRI has performed more than 297 activities and delivered 78 projects national and internationally covering 968 institutions, reaching 12.654 participants, across 38 countries. Those activities include Focus Group Discussion, Lectures, Schools, Workshops, Webinars, joint research, and also annual International Conferences. From those activities & projects, NBRI attained satisfaction score 4.8 out 5.
In 2023, NBRI actualized one of its vision to gather all stakeholders related to battery technology supply chain in one comprehensive forum, namely International Battery Summit 2023. This first ever International Battery Summit in Indonesia has been successfully conducted in Grand Shahid Jakarta, 1-2 August 2023.
International Battery Summit 2023 hosted by NBRI
This summit has progressively gathered 327 participants from 172 institutions & companies on upstream to downstream of battery industry, across 12 countries (Indonesia, Singapore, United Kingdom, The United States of America, Australia, Thailand, South Korea, China, Japan, Canada, India, and Malaysia), including 48 speakers.
Based on the occupation, 42% attendances come from private sector, followed by government & state-owned enterprise with 36% and 22% are non-government organization, research institute, and university.
The Education, Training and Certification Department becomes one of the NBRI’s contribution sector on providing & preparing qualified human resources. Because the quality of human resources becomes a notable aspect for bolstering the developed country ecosystem. Indonesia also revives those dream by boosting the infrastructure development in the past decades. However, such promising quantity progress is still not followed by the development of human resources quality as well.
On the other side, the rise of battery electric vehicles (BEV) and renewable energy trends amidst the disruption age will be another challenge for Indonesian human resources. The World Bank (2020) reported that skill development becomes an essential aspect for curbing those quality shortages. Because low skills perpetuate poverty and inequality.
Since Indonesia has a rich of local resources and benefiting on the bonus demographic momentum, Indonesia has to demonstrate important roles on the battery manufactures as well as renewable energy and electric vehicles industries. However, they are still lack of knowledge on the technology for preparing the BEV era. Due to this reason, NBRI provides serial of education, training, and skill developments in various topics starting from the upstream, midstream, to downstream that enables Indonesia to be ready in adapting the technology.
One of the milestones is Competency Standard National Working Indonesia (SKKNI) on Battery Pack. NBRI actively promotes and conducts advocacy on the importance of standardization on battery as well as its manpower, due to its chemical and electrical risk. In the midst 2022, NBRI was appointed as a working group leader by Ministry of Manpower. Along with other Indonesia’s experts and industries on battery and electric vehicles, SKKNI on Battery Pack has been ratified by the end of 2022.

Besides, NBRI also open an internship opportunity for students and fresh graduate to deep dive on the development of battery technology ecosystem and solve related various problems. By this year, NBRI has given a memorable internship program for 30 interns across 14 institutions.
International Battery School 2023 is an annual event of NBRI for facilitating a unique and beneficial skill development program, specifically on battery technology topics. Exist for the first time in the midst of 2021, International Battery School has been transforming to follow the industry trends and answering the issues on battery ecosystem.
In 2022, we focus on exploring upstream topics, while Indonesia’s nickel stealing the world’s attention. Besides for general participants, we also have successfully conducted exclusive training for nickel miners’ stakeholders (specifically on C-Profession levels). Through Training of Trainers, we provide an insightful training topic on how to level-up their nickel ore in the value chain of battery industry.
Training of Trainers 2022
On March 2023, we also successfully conducted Training of Trainers: Battery for Renewable Energy 2023 as a project partner, initiated by Swiss Confederation. This training has been attended by selected lecturers from polytechnics across Indonesia, including PEM AKAMIGAS Cepu, Politeknik Negeri Bali, Politeknik Negeri Jakarta, Politeknik Negeri Manado, Politeknik Negeri Ujung Pandang, Politeknik Negeri Sriwijaya, Politeknik Negeri Ambon, and Politeknik Manufaktur Bandung.
Training of Trainers: Battery for Renewable Energy 2023
This year, the first series of International Battery School 2023 has been conducted on 23-24 May 2023. The focused issue was downstream sector of battery technology. Because by 2025, the Government has set an ambitious target to attain 1.8 million of Two Wheels Electric Vehicles (2W-EV) in Indonesia. Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) to Electric Vehicles (EV) conversion becomes a prominent strategy to enable those lavish objective. Besides, the Govt has issued a 5-million incentive initiative to boost 2W-EV conversion and created economic value. However, lack of qualified human resources remains an obstacle. So that, this school involved to address those skill gap.
The first series has been attended by participants from 10 industries and institutions (PT. Qualis Indonesia, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, BLK Don Bosco, Banjarmasin State Polytechnic, PT. Oyika Powered Solutions, PT. Carsurin, PT. Industri Baterai Indonesia (Indonesia Battery Corporation), Hokuriku Electrical Construction Co. Ltd, Universitas Indonesia, and PT. Pertamina Patra Niaga).
