BOSTON - NECEC today announced that Analog Devices, Inc., a leading global high-performance semiconductor company, has joined the organization's Strategic Partner Network (SPN). NECEC’s SPN is a membership network for global corporations focused on building relationships across the Northeast cleantech ecosystem.

“Our Strategic Partner Network helps forge partnerships between industry leaders and energy entrepreneurs to drive innovative solutions for our global climate challenge,” said NECEC President Peter Rothstein. “We are pleased to have Analog Devices on board as a partner in this effort to foster deeper collaboration within our community and grow our region’s clean energy and cleantech markets.”

“Analog Devices is committed to developing innovative technology that creates a sustainable future,” said Patrick Morgan, Vice President of Automotive at Analog Devices. “We offer technologies that sense, process, and communicate data in vehicles, infrastructure, factories and more to power a greener world. We greatly look forward to working with NECEC to achieve a more resilient, inclusive, and clean energy future.”

Analog Devices’ battery management systems (BMS) have become an in-demand technology as the popularity of electric vehicles and electrification increases among consumers and across markets. Analog Devices’ BMS more accurately measures the miles per charge an electric vehicle can deliver and maximizes an electric vehicle battery's overall lifetime, thereby lowering the cost of ownership. The company’s BMS also unlock significant cost and safety benefits of battery technologies that are lower-cost, longer-life cycle, faster-charging, and eliminate reliance on unsustainable and unethical mining practices required for the production of other batteries.

NECEC created SPN in 2014 to help leading corporations form partnerships within our community of cleantech startups and clean energy member companies to advance their energy and cleantech business strategies. NECEC hosts quarterly workshops and networking and educational events for SPN members, as well as market development sessions to grow strategic opportunities in the Northeast. NECEC also facilitates strategic market working groups to foster collaborative business opportunities and involve SPN members in our early-stage innovation programs Cleantech Open Northeast and Cleantech Navigate as sponsors, advisors, and potential partners or investors with the promising startups that participate in these programs. NECEC’s SPN Members include Analog Devices, Avangrid, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Direct Energy, Engie, Eversource, National Grid, Schneider Electric, and Shell.
