The Battery Safety Conference 2026 takes place 18-19 March at Clarion Hotel Post in central Gothenburg.

Short about The Battery Safety Conference

The conference will feature presentations from both leading researchers and industry representatives, covering topics such as current research projects and practical applications. Conference delegates can ask questions directly to the speakers and make valuable connections for future collaborations.

Target audience for the conference

The conference is aimed at industry leaders, entrepreneurs, academics, and researchers from around the world. We welcome stakeholders along the entire battery value chain, including policymakers, technical managers, operations managers, production managers, engineers, technicians, vehicle and powertrain developers, industrial operators, and energy storage companies.

Purpose of The Battery Safety Conference

The conference focuses on how we achieve a safe transition to electrification. We meet to share knowledge and to collaborate on new approaches that can help reduce risks and increase safety in the production, handling and use of batteries.

News! The conference is being extended to two days

We have listened to last year's participants – this year, The Battery Safety Conference will be a two-day event! On the first evening, we invite you to a networking dinner. After the conference, you will have the opportunity to visit one of our battery labs: SEEL in Gothenburg or RISE's battery safety lab in Borås. Transport will be arranged from the hotel.
