Future Battery Forum 2026

Take part in Europe’s leading battery conference!

The Future Battery Forum will once again bring together key decision-makers from across the entire battery value chain, 100 exhibitors, and over 90 top international speakers from the worlds of politics and business. Don’t miss this unique opportunity for premium networking!

Focus topics

The conference will highlight these strategic topics on both conference days:

• Market strategies and policiesModern battery technologies are at the heart of global value chains and are strongly influenced by the worldwide scarcity of critical resources.
• Manufacturing and gigafactoriesThe development of local production of battery packs and cells in Europe is an important strategic goal for the European Union and its industry.
• Battery chemistry and designWe will discuss advanced technologies such as solid-state and sodium-ion batteries as well as innovative designs for modules and packs.
• Electric mobilityIn addition to cars, you will also gain insights into other segments such as trucks, buses, two-wheelers, municipal vehicles, agricultural and construction machinery, railroads, airplanes and shipping.
• Lifecycle and sustainabilityValuable raw materials can be recovered from used batteries through modern recycling processes, reducing waste and supporting a circular economy.
• BESS applicationsBattery energy storage systems (BESS) play a crucial role in introducing renewable energy, ensuring grid stability and avoiding power outages.

Target groups

The conference for decision-makers and experts brings together the entire value system of the battery industry:

• Experts from the automotive and transportation industriesThe focus is on the development of electric vehicles, the integration of batteries and the application of battery technology in the automotive sector.
• Representatives of the energy sectorThe focus is on battery storage solutions, grid integration and applications for renewable energies.
• Cell manufacturer and chemistManufacturers of battery systems and battery cells made of various materials such as lithium-ion batteries in all chemical variants, lead-acid batteries, next-generation high-performance batteries (silicon, redox-flow, aluminum-air, aluminum-ion, sodium-ion, magnesium-ion batteries) will participate.
• Production specialists and plant managersMonitor the manufacturing process to ensure efficiency and adherence to production schedules.
• Supply chain and logistics managerThey ensure that raw materials such as lithium and cobalt are sourced in an ethical and cost-effective manner, manage relationships with suppliers and navigate the complex logistics of shipping sensitive materials.
• Political decision-makers and regulatory authoritiesThey set standards for the production, use and disposal of batteries to minimize environmental impact and provide incentives for research and development in sustainable battery technology.
• Experts for research and developmentThey are at the forefront of innovation, working to develop new battery technologies that are more efficient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
