The Battery Show Europe 2025 Critical Agenda Highlights Moves to Global Collaboration, Regulation and Supply Chain Resilience - Seite 2
Dr. Juliane Kluge, Head of Cell Chemistry and Methods at the Battery Cell Competence Centre (BCCC) at BMW Group, presents "Pioneering Innovations in Cylindrical Cell Development," offering a look into BMW'S latest work on improving electrolyte movement, energy density and material efficiency in cylindrical cells. The session will emphasize how structural and chemical innovations are shaping the next generation of high-performance EV batteries.
Following the above discussion, "Using AI To Accelerate The Development Of Next-Generation Battery Materials and Cell Components," features Dr Richard Ahlfeld, CEO and Founder at Monolith and Dr. Heino Sommer, CTO at Cellforce Group, sharing how AI is transforming battery testing and validation, helping original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) cut development time and optimize performance through smarter, data driven design.
Wrapping up the impressive slate of key addresses will be the closing presentation on "Advancing Battery Innovation: Insights from Mercedes-Benz's Technical Leadership," from Uwe Keller, Head of Battery Development at Mercedes-Benz AG, inviting attendees to an intimate look at the evolution of battery systems across a global manufacturing context, highlighting key learnings from deep cell competence initiatives, to examine how design choices influence efficiency, longevity and recyclability. Attendees will also gain an informed perspective on current and emerging cell technologies that are shaping the industry's future.
"The Europeans battery sector is entering a decisive phase, balancing the need to localize production with the pressure to stay competitive globally," says John Lewinski, Executive Vice President, Informa Markets Engineering. "The keynote lineup reflects the depth and complexity of that challenge, bringing together leaders who are actively shaping the supply chains, regulations and technologies that will define the next decade of energy storage an electric mobility."
Beyond the keynote programs, the conference offers multiple dedicated tracks, including Advanced Battery Technologies, Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Integration and Battery Manufacturing & Supply Chain, with over 90 speakers and 32+ hours of expert-led education across panel discussions, technical sessions and hands-on workshops designed to help attendees better understand the industry. The conference is represented by pioneers from across the industry including leading OEM's battery cell and pack producers and more including ACC, Ampere, Daimler, ExxonMobil, Lyten, NIO, PowerCo, Scania and Siemens.
