Our CEO, Professor Martin Freer, is talking on the Headline Session “Are Gigafactories the Answer? What is the Best Route to an Efficient, Competitive Battery Manufacturing Ecosystem in Europe?” on Thursday 10th July from 10am with:
With Europe needing to multiply its battery production volume many times over by 2030 to meet electrification goals, gigafactories are often cited as the silver bullet for securing supply chain independence. But with soaring energy costs, access to critical minerals, policy instability, and fierce global competition, can Europe realistically compete with China and the US on this kind of volume production? This keynote will address the critical question: What is the smartest route to building a resilient, cost-competitive, and sustainable battery industry in Europe?
