The Battery Innovation Days are where leading policy makers, scientists and industry representatives discuss the future of battery R&I in Europe

After two successful editions, the Battery Innovation Days (BID) took place in Bordeaux on the 14 & 15 November 2023! Today’s key European Research & Innovation initiatives (Batteries Europe, Battery 2030+ and the Batteries European Partnership Association, in partnership with the Batteries 1st and 2nd IPCEIs), are co-organising a unique hybrid experience at the Centre de congrès Cité Mondiale in Bordeaux and online.

Why Attend

Batteries are crucial to the enabling of technology that will allow the EU to achieve its zero-emissions goals through a responsible and sustainable market. Join us for 2 days of captivating dialogue among the research community, policymakers, industry players and end-users to boost battery research and innovation in Europe. BID aims to increase knowledge and encourage exchange around the deployment of cutting-edge technologies in battery materials, cell design, manufacturing and recycling.
