Battery Venture, Innovation & Partnering

Innovation that Matters & Emerging Investable Areas

March 15-16, 2027

The Venture, Innovation & Partnering Conference is a two-day event held alongside the International Battery Seminar, bringing together CEOs, founders, investors, and senior executives from the battery manufacturing and OEM sectors. This year, we will explore the critical need for investment in innovation and technology that truly addresses customer needs, as well as uncover the current and emerging investable areas and battery business models ripe for disruption. This conference will offer a deep dive into the challenges of Series B funding, and we'll also examine what might be the most effective battery strategy for the West. Supply chain complexities and manufacturing scale-up will be key highlights. Expect engaging panel discussions, fireside chats, and plenty of opportunities for 1-on-1 and group networking. We’ll be tackling a wide range of exciting topics, and we cannot wait to see you there!

Coverage will include, but is not limited to:

Raising the capital to commercialize technology: new paths to scale and profitability
Series B funding: raising money in challenging markets
What is the battery strategy for the West and where is the industry heading in the next 5-10 years?
