Future Battery Technologies: Science, Innovation and Collaboration Opportunities
Battery technologies are becoming an increasingly important component of the energy transition, electrification, and sustainable industrial development. To ensure that scientific discoveries successfully reach practical applications and the market, close cooperation between researchers, technology developers, and industry is essential.
During the event, participants will gain insights into the latest research in battery technologies, learn about funding and international collaboration opportunities, and discuss future challenges and development trends with experts from academia and industry. A key part of the programme will be a guided visit to the laboratories of the Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia, providing a first-hand look at the institute’s research infrastructure and ongoing work.
Who should attend?
- Representatives of energy, manufacturing, and technology companies;
- Technology developers and innovation managers;
- Researchers and students;
- Organisations interested in energy storage solutions and their commercialisation;
- Anyone seeking to foster cooperation between science and industry.
