“InterBattery Europe Showcase” is to take place at ees Europe. ees Europe is a parallel exhibition within the Smarter E Europe, Europe’s largest energy industry platform featuring 4 events: ees Europe (Energy storage), Intersolar Europe (Solar energy), Power2Drive Europe (Charging Infrastructure) and EM-Power Europe (Energy Soltuion). While ees Europe has a special focus on the battery up-stream sector (energy storage systems), “InterBattery Europe Showcase” has a focus on the battery down-stream sector (battery cells), offering Europe’s largest industry event covering the entire spectrum of the battery market.
The cooperation between “InterBattery Europe Showcase” and ees Europe is a truly exciting opportunity for the industry as international interest in the European battery market is high with the booming production for electric vehicles and stationary storage, growing 30% from July to October 2022 alone, according to Battery Atlas.

Large capacities in Europe are also planned by LG Energy Solution (115 gigawatt hours (GWh)), Samsung SDI (40 GWh) and SK Innovation (77 GWh) from South Korea, ProLogium (120 gigawatt hours) from Taiwan, CATL (100 GWh) from China and many other players. According to Battery Atlas, Germany is the top location in Europe – both for planned battery cell production and for module and pack assembly, as well as for equipment suppliers.
At “InterBattery Europe Showcase,” battery industry professionals will be able to make face-to-face connections with the world’s top tier battery companies like Samsung SDI and LG Energy Soltuion and other various international battery companies featuring the newest technologies and products, such as rechargeable batteries, battery materials/ components, battery testing, measuring and manufacturing equipment, waste batteries, and battery solutions/ services.
