1st edition of Battery & Energy Storage Tech Europe, 8-9 September
Barcelona connects the future of Europe’s industrial energy storage
Next autumn, a new European event will be held in the Catalan capital that will showcase the latest innovations in batteries and energy storage systems for industrial applications and large infrastructures. From 8 to 9 September, Battery & Energy Storage Tech Europe will bring together more than 100 companies and 2,000 experts at Fira de Barcelona with the aim of boosting business, discovering opportunities and analysing the main challenges of a strategic sector to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable energy model and drive the transformation of European industry.
Organised by Fira de Barcelona in collaboration with 104-Media, Battery & Energy Storage Tech Europe is positioned as a strategic platform to promote the continent’s industrial and energy independence, at a time when Europe is working to reduce external dependence and lead emerging technological applications.
To this end, the event will showcase the most disruptive advances that energize the sector’s value chain: from new materials and manufacturing processes to management and recycling systems, with applications that include grid-scale storage, long-duration energy systems, aerospace technologies, drones, rail transport and maritime electrification.
“Battery Tech Europe was born with the aim of being the meeting point for companies, professionals and experts where the great challenges of the sector are analysed, business opportunities are generated, innovation is catalysed and alliances are facilitated that promote the development of a key industry for the future of Europe”, highlights the director of the conference programme, Ken Davies.
Thus, the new event plans to bring together 100 exhibitors from all over Europe at Fira de Barcelona’s Gran Via venue, including leading technology companies, R+D centres and start-ups that will showcase the next generation of advanced materials, development and manufacturing technologies, design and battery management systems, life cycle management, digital passports and recycling technology, among other areas that currently mark the present and future of this sector.
Battery Tech & Energy Storage Europe will combine this exhibition area with an international congress that will address key issues such as intelligence applied to battery management, the design of sustainable systems and new investment strategies to strengthen European competitiveness. In addition, it will offer networking spaces and presentations of innovative projects that will connect industry, research and public administrations.
Barcelona, European hub for energy innovation
The global market for industrial batteries is projected to reach 31.8 billion euros by 2030, while stationary storage could reach 66.5 billion by 2035, according to data from international consultancies. In this context, Europe, which installed 21.9 GWh in 2024 and expects to reach 400 GWh by 2029, is positioned as a key player in developing solutions that guarantee sustainability and efficiency.
With this new event, Fira de Barcelona reinforces its commitment to strategic and forward-looking sectors, consolidating the Catalan capital as a meeting point for the energy industry.
