Battery Tech Europe, a new event dedicated to innovation in industrial and large-scale battery technology, will launch in Barcelona next year. The exhibition aims to unite Europe’s leading companies and professionals in energy storage and advanced battery technology, fostering collaboration and accelerating the transition to a sustainable energy model.
The inaugural edition will take place on 8–9 September, 2026 at Fira de Barcelona’s Gran Via venue. Combining a major exhibition with a comprehensive conference programme, the event will showcase European innovation and explore solutions to the sector’s most pressing challenges. Thousands of energy professionals, engineers, entrepreneurs and investors involved in Europe’s ‘green’ energy transformation are expected to attend, making Barcelona — one of the continent’s most dynamic technological hubs — the focal point for next-generation battery technology and high-growth markets.
Ken Davies,
Battery Tech Expo Europe conference programme director, said: “There is no other event in the battery technology calendar like it.
Battery Tech Europe will bring together industry experts from across the continent and form the catalyst for exciting new collaborations and investments.”
Disruptive advancesOrganised by Fira de Barcelona in partnership with 104-Media, the event will present disruptive advances across the entire battery value chain, extending well beyond the automotive sector. Applications in grid-scale storage, long-duration energy systems, aerospace technologies, drones, railway and maritime electrification will be addressed. Exhibitors will showcase innovations in materials and manufacturing processes, energy management systems, and solutions for safety and recycling.
With a clear focus on strengthening European industrial and energy independence,
Battery Tech Europe aims to become a strategic meeting point for research, industry and public institutions. The conference will feature leading international experts discussing the future of energy innovation in Europe and outlining a roadmap for the continent’s battery industry — from emerging electrochemistry to recycling technologies.
The exhibition will host hundreds of technology companies, R&D centres and startups presenting next-generation materials, manufacturing technologies, battery design and management systems, lifecycle management, digital product passports and recycling solutions. By concentrating on the European ecosystem, the event seeks to bridge the gap between innovation and application.
Battery Tech Europe has already received strong interest from companies, institutions and researchers, positioning itself as a vibrant, forward-looking platform to promote European leadership in the global energy landscape.
