The seminar is fully booked but you can follow it live via live streaming on this page.
Batteries have been around for hundreds of years. For the years to come, new technologies are developed. But what does the future hold? Environmental solutions but also challenges, big business but also a global race. Europe is moving forward it’s position and develops all parts of the value chain. In two years’ time, Europe might very well have surpassed the U.S. Meanwhile, China and South Korea are putting a lot of effort into developing future batteries. Japan and Sweden are already working together in developing technology. There might be reasons for an even closer cooperation.
