Cross-Sector Battery Showcase – Advancing Innovation Across Industries
About the event
The Cross-Sector Battery Systems Innovation Network was launched in 2020 with a mission: To create an open and collaborative cross-sectoral community for researchers and innovators in battery manufacturing (including next generation batteries), the related supply chain and end-users.
With the community having now reached over 5,000 members, this event will provide a unique opportunity to meet new partners and collaborators across the battery ecosystem.
Why should you attend?
This event aims to bring together representatives of the whole battery supply chain together with a diverse range of cross-sector markets (aerospace, automotive, defence, maritime and rail).
By attending this event you will get an opportunity to:
- Hear the latest updates for batteries on these diverse markets through a series of engaging panel discussions.
- Network with representatives of the battery industry as well as end-use sectors.
- Participate in the ‘Meet the Battery Innovator’ session.
- Explore projects and products from various battery markets.
- Join the Cross-Sector Battery Systems Landscape Map and discover the 500+ organisations across the UK involved in various stages of the battery supply chain.
We strongly encourage representatives from the following sectors to attend:
- Anywhere within the battery supply chain technology.
- Those working in an end-use sector moving towards electrification.
- Anyone that is keen to grow their network and partner up with another UK battery organisation.
- Investors looking for innovative battery businesses.
- Researchers.
- Government & Public Sector stakeholders.
