Call for paper
Over nearly 30 years, Batteries Event has become a must-attend international event for the battery industry.
As batteries become increasingly central to the global energy transition — powering electric mobility, enabling large-scale energy storage and supporting emerging applications — the sector is undergoing rapid transformation driven by technological breakthroughs, industrial scale-up and evolving global supply chains.
Batteries Event 2026 will bring together leading experts from industry, academia, research institutes, investors and public institutions to exchange insights, showcase innovations and shape the future of the battery ecosystem.
The 2026 edition will place a special focus on industrial scale-up, battery manufacturing competitiveness, gigafactory execution, the future of the European battery ecosystem, and next-generation battery technologies.
The conference will feature high-level plenary sessions, expert parallel sessions and premium networking opportunities, offering a unique platform to explore the technological, industrial and market trends shaping the next generation of batteries.
We invite professionals from across the battery ecosystem to submit proposals for presentations in the parallel sessions of the conference and contribute to the discussions that will define the future of the industry.
