The Battery Materials Conference 2026
Welcome to the Battery Materials Conference, 20–21 January 2026 – the key meeting point for experts, researchers and industry leaders in battery materials and energy storage. The conference offers insights into the latest developments in materials innovation, sustainability and next-generation battery technology.
Exploring the future of battery materials
The conference covers the entire battery materials value chain – from raw materials and active components to battery cells and manufacturing. Key topics include cell components, binders, separators, as well as testing methods and advanced analysis. Safety, recycling, and reuse are also in focus, driving sustainable and innovative energy solutions.
